Hi, thanks for the reply, but this isn't what i had in mind. What I'd like is an empty textbox where the user enters a parameter for the search and a command button that triggers the search which then populates the other textboxes on the form. Hope someone can help. Thanks
Chris

you could use an InputBox or a ComboBox.
A search will find several examples

Hi,
All I need to know is how to link the textbox and commandbutton on a form, to make a search work on a person's name, which then populates some texboxes on a form. I need to know the VBA behind the action. I can't seem to find the right information on this. all any of my books seem to show is how to make update, amend, delete and normal queries. I know its something to do with using an expression in the search criteria, but I cant seem to find the relevant info.

HI,
thanks, but not quite what I'm looking for. What I want is to search for a name using a textbox and command button, which results in all records containing the same criteria to be listed. For example, if I search for a surname Jones, I want all the Jones' to be listed. Maybe its a lot harder than I previously thought. thanks for all your help though, it is appreciated.
