    Opening Query results Inside a Form

    Hello I am using Microsoft Access 2010 on Windows 7 64 bit OS
    I am trying to show my query results inside of the form that the user is using to search.
    I am new to Access so there are some things I don’t know yet.
    My query is showing results based on the text criteria I type into my form txt boxes


    All I want is for when I click “Search” button is will show the results in a SubForm on this form. I DO NOT want to see all records.
    If you can help, please make your explanation simple and step by step, I have tried to follow other online help but I can’t understand.
    Thank you all for any help.

    A subform is not required for this.

    A parameterized query is one approach. Review http://datapigtechnologies.com/flash...tomfilter.html

    Can you reference your textbox controls in a parameterized query using the criteria example in the video?

    The technique is the same and will work with textbox. Can use two wildcards

    Like "*" & Forms!MyForms!MySelector & "*"

    I have done this already. Put simply when I run my query from my form it opens up another window with my query results. I don't want that. I want the results to OPEN ON the form itself, not create another tab or window.

    I need step by step directions because I don't know how to code this directly.

    Just make the query the RecordSource for the form.

    Code behind button on form will requery the form instead of opening the query.

    I think the video demonstrates that.
