Problem using Navigation Form-Getting error message when using Find button

[Greyhound Friend]

I’m new to Access 2010 (and don’t know how to do any programming or use macro functions). I suspect I’m making a simple mistake, but I’ve searched the internet and can’t find a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a simple form called Contact, which is based on a table called Contact containing several text fields, a web hyperlink, a concatenated field and a button to find records. The form works as expected.

The problem is that I’m trying to use the same form in a Navigation form I created. When I use the Find button I get the following error message.
The fields are not searchable due to one of the following:
The fields are controls (such as buttons or OLE objects).


The fields have no data.
There are no fields to search.

Is there a way to fix the problem?

Thank you for your time.

Unfortunately, the way to fix this is to not use Navigation Forms and to implement VBA.

You may be able to get it to work with a Navigation form by using VBA to gather the criteria and then apply it to the Nav form's properties. Functionality outside the properties of the Nav Form is probably unattainable.

Thank you for your reply. Time to get [another] book!
