Be patient, I'm not sure how to explain this...

I am trying to use a text field in a form as the criteria
for the query. I want to be able to search thru a field,
such as employee name. I would like to be able to search
for the employee name using a wild card, then click a
button and run the report on the name that is in the text
box.

let me know if you need more info. Thanks!

You can use the "wizard" in the query design window to help you set the
criterion to point to the form's control (text field). The result will
result in something like:

Forms!YourFormName!YourTextControlName

showing up in the criterion field of the query design grid.
 
I tried that, but for some reason it will not show the
details for any record that I search for, except the first
record.
