Hi:
I've worked with access before, but it was a long time ago and I've
forgotten most of whatever I knew. I'm trying to build a form to help a
friend updtate our retireee database. We have about 3600 lines of data in
the database and each month he has to add new members and make changes as
neede on existing members. I can build the form for input ok, but would like
to be able to search for a name, and have it populate the fields on the form
so he can edit it.

Can I add a combo box that he can type the Last name in and have it populate
the rest of the fields.

Thanks for any help you can offer this old man.

Probably the easiest way is to run a filter by form. Then the user can
fill in the fields he wants and then run the filter and see only the
records matching the criteria he has entered.
 
The wizard can build you a ComboBox that can "find a record".
 
Thanks to you both for the quick response.
I'll give it a go.
