I want to find a record by using a text box. The user
starts typing the name of the person they are looking for
in the box, and the box suggests possible records using a
sort of predictive text mechanism.
When the correct record is displayed, the user presses
Enter (or Return) to select and the correct record is
displayed.

How do I go about creating this find text box?

A combobox will save a lot of effort since most of what you may want is
built in.

If you have a complex idea for predicting what is typed you will have to
write code for the prediction and them implement it in a query.
