Beginner to Access: Search application

[dcwang3]

question though:



I am trying to add a drop down list in addition to the two search fields. Since I have the search fields working, I would like to specify it even further with a drop down list.

I have another table that lists all the possible assemblies that you can choose from. How would I type use an expression builder to build a code for the criteria?

Would it be the same as this:

Like!forms!<what form>.<what the name of the combo box>&"*"


Thanks

The ! after LIKE should be a space.

I know, it should automatically format it...but I am saying, should it be similiar to that format when you are using a drop down list, or would it be different?

Because part of me says it may be different because the particular entry is there listed in the drop down list, rather than having to type in the full name or part of the it
