Use Textbox to Populate Find CTRL-F

F

Fizzlesquirt

I have a form with an unbound textbox (txtFind) and a button (cmdFind) in the
header. In the detail section I have a continuous forms based on a
multi-table query.

What I want to accomplish is to type search term(s) into the textbox. When
the cmdFind button is clicked - it acts like the Find (CTRL-F) command from
the Menu Bar with the options set as Look In: formName; Match: Any part of
field; Search: All. If you click on the button again it finds the next
occurrence.

Is this possible using a textbox? Everything I've found on the net shows
specifying a particular field to search against.

Any and all help is appreciated.
