Finding specific records

Hi everyone,

Like to say what a great group this is and thanks for all the help in the
past.

However moving on here is my dilema today, I have a form that is based on a
query from several tables, this query can have hundres/thousands of records,
what I would like to do is do a search on a specific field and jump to that
records form, what I am thinking is along the lines of the record navigation
button for find but when I press the command button on my form it defaults to
the required field and parameters leaving the user to enter the search text
criteria.

Have a look at Filter By Form (Records ... Filter ... Filter By Form). The
interface may be just what you are looking for. Once selected from the menu,
simply fill in any field and click on the Filter button (the funnel)

Yes that would do what I want , but is there a way to run 'filter by form and
apply filter' from code and again to remove filter

TIA

Hi,

But How would I get it to pause between 'filter by form' and 'apply filter'
so that the user can enter the required criteria

TIA
