    map text field to table of records

    Good Afternoon,

    MS Access newbie here, but I am an Excel power user. Thanks in advance.

    I created a form in MS Access 2010. There are two areas in the details of the form. One is the table of records, with a primary key of RecordNumber.

    The other area is above the record table, and it contains buttons and text fields.

    My Goal:
    1. Show the table of records. Done
    A. There can be up to 10000 records.


    2. Build buttons and text fields for UI functionality. Done
    3. Have the text field allow the user to enter a record number, and show the record as highlighted in the record table.

    Thanks for the help. You guys/gals are awesome.

    Thanks,
    Rob

    Your post would indicate that you have inserted a table into an unbound form. This would be a difficult method to achieve your goal.

    Create a continuous form (not single form) based upon the table as its record source - and then in the header of the form put your unbound text fields/buttons. Then you would implement a GoToRecord function and couple also either conditional formatting for highlighting color changes. It will take some trial and error.
