LOOK UP MENU????

[MikeUK]

I would like to create a look up menu to search through a customer form, to automaticly see their information, but I am unable to do this! Can anyone help????

The way I do this is to build a seperate form with unbound fields which I use as search criteria.
I then base my customer form on a query that uses the fields on the unbound form as criteria.
To reference a control on an unbound form you refer to the control directly:

For criteria, on a customer name you would first build a suitable unbound search control(text box or combo box) and reference the control in the forms query criteria

Forms!MySearchForm!MyUnboundCustomerSearchControl

Obviously your control name would be shorter but you get the idea.

Then all you have to do is get the form to requery every time the value changes in the text or combo box.

Hope that makes sense.

Mike UK, get off the site because all you do is mess about and ask stupid questions. And why is Cedwards sad for asking a question about a query button? you're sad mate
