    Text Box search of Form with a Combo as Part of Form search

    I have started creating a database with a bound form. What I

    want to know is how to use either one of the records for a

    search for the related records associated with it or a separate



    text box to initiate the search. at the same time I want to replace

    say two of the fields text boxes with a combo box that will

    retrieve any and all records for the associated fields related to

    the search field, which will be two columns of data drop data.

    Consider using a form/subform arrangement to display related records.

    Review tutorials at http://datapigtechnologies.com/AccessMain.htm especially:

    Build a Custom Filter in Your Form in the Access Forms: Tips and Techniques section

    And the 3 about comboboxes in Access Forms: Control Basics section
