Adding a find feature to a form

I am building a form for data entry into a table with
about 4000 names. I know the user can use the ctrl + F
to search, but can't I just add either a field or button to
do a find that will populate the fields on my form so
the person can enter new data or edit existing data.

Thanks for any help

Put a text box on the form, add a button next to it that creates a SQL
string based on the textbox, then pass that SQL string to the form's
RecordSource property.
 
Thanks ManningFan:
I guess I should have also said that I'm dumb as a board.
I worked some with Access some years back, but evidently I
have forgotten everything I knew. Can you give me an example?

Thanks

I (almost) never give explicit code, people don't learn when you hand
it to them. It shouldn't be difficult to impliment what I gave you
with a few google searches.
 
You know you are right. I'm just trying to take the lazy way out.
But thanks for the (almost), I may be back.

Thanks again
