First Letter Recognition

[Runlynch]

Hey guys!



Apologies in advanced if this question seems out of place. I am a new user to this program and have spent weeks trying to get a hang of it.

My employer has told me that he used to use a database that allowed the user to make a search where he would type 1 letter and it would list underneath of it all potential search suggestions that begin with that letter. He would then select the desired search phrase and it would list for him all of the rows of information that held that word within it.

He thinks that the macros function will accomplish this for us, but I haven't seen anything searching around. Is this something Microsoft access does? Or do you just have to ctrl-f within the tables whenever you want to find something?

Thanks in advanced!

Sounds like a combobox to me. With AutoExpand property set to Yes.

Item selected in combobox can be used to apply filter to form, review http://www.allenbrowne.com/ser-62.html
