    Record Conflict Check

    I am a bit of a novice when it comes to Access. I have recently developed a simple database for doing conflict checks for a local law firm.



    What I want to be able to do is simple. When my staff enter a new client record, and click my save command button. I want Access to automatically run a conflict check against the new client's last name and opposing party, with records already stored in my database.

    For example, I am entering John Smith's as a new client. Example fields: First name: John , Last name: Smith

    When I click save, I want a window warning to pop up and say, "Potential Conflict" and bring up the records of conflict - any records that contain "Smith" in the fields of: Last name , or Opposing party.

    Any ideas?

    Easiest option:
    Have an unbound combobox or listbox with a RowSource of existing names. User enters name and any match will be displayed. Do the search before starting new record.

    Anything else will require code.
