On a form, I want to be able to type a last name in a text box and have the
record with that name become the current record displayed on the form. If
there are several records with the same last name, I want to be able to
advance to the next record if the first one is not the desired one. Thanks
for your help.
 
Why not just add a combo-box to the form that includes the name Last,First
and let the wizard walk you through the steps. There is an option that
says, "find the matching record...". Then, the user can start typing the
last name and they will jump down the list. when they get to the match, the
can press tab or enter, and the appropriate record will be displayed.
