How do I put a text box in to do a search on my form, such as I have many
last names and want a box to type in one name and cause the db to find all
the same names?
 
Sometimes Access doesn't always give you some things the way one expects.

If you have multiple tables then you would want to create a Form and subForm
using the Form wizard.

If you are working within a single table then what you might want to
consider is first creating a Parameter Query. Make a Query and in design
mode for the name field put this in the Criteria line [Enter Name]

When you press the ! you will then get this prompt i.e. Enter Name....and
it will return all records for that name...

Next just go ahead and create a new Report and in the wizard select that it
be based on this new Parameter Query.....
