    Creating a search box in Access 2010 form


    I would like to create a search box on a form where the user types in the unit # and press enter, and the unit information comes up. the form is based on a table, the unit column is a txt field which is unique and the primary key in the table.

    Thank you, in advance for your assistance.

    Presuming the form is bound to the table, the simplest solution is the combo box wizard, choosing the third option, "Find a record...".

    No problem; maybe I'm just a good-luck charm.
