command of a button

[Rebecca S.]

I have a button on a form that is a find record button.
What I want to happen when the button is clicked is for
it to search the lastname of a record. Right now what it
does is search what ever field the cursor is on when
someone clicks the button. How do I set it so it will
automatically search the lastname field when clicked?

Thanks in advance!

What you need to do is go into the code and set the focus on
the lastname field. The following example is code that I
use for searching by zip codes.
-Mike

Private Sub ZipFind_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_ZipFind_Click
Dim SZip As String

SZip = InputBox("Enter ZIP Code")
ZIP.Enabled = True
ZIP.SetFocus
DoCmd.FindRecord SZip, acStart

Text12.SetFocus

Exit_ZipFind_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_ZipFind_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_ZipFind_Click

End Sub

Is that the only way to do it!?! That is a bit over my
head I think. Im not even sure what I would replace in
your example to the field name I need it to use.
Thank you for your time.. I am going to try to see if I
can figure it out using your example. Just not sure where
to start! HA!
