Personally, I would write some code for an inputbox that would the filter the report... something similar to this below:
Code:
Dim lname As String
lname = InputBox("Enter Last Name", "Name Required")
'On Error Resume Next
If StrPtr(lname) = 0 Then
MsgBox "Edit Record Cancelled", vbInformation
GoTo EditRecord_Click_Exit
Else
If Len(lname) = 0 Then
MsgBox "Please enter a name to edit", vbCritical
GoTo EditRecord_Click_Exit
Else
DoCmd.OpenForm "New Employee", acNormal, "", "", acEdit, acNormal
DoCmd.GoToRecord acForm, "New Employee", acLast
DoCmd.FindRecord lname, acEntire, False, , False, acCurrent, True
End If
End If
