How do I add a search functionality to a DAP?

I am having trouble following the instructions I found regarding this
question. In the instructions, it tells me to basically add a command button,
and then enter in an "OnClick" event procedure to make it a find button.
However, after I place the button on my page in design view, I do not have
the option of adding an event procedure for anything, let alone for the
"OnClick" field when I look at the button's properties.

having seen that no one has given you any advice as of yet;

just briefly....adding a button to a Form generally opens the command wizard
automatically that would step you thru this...you should check to see if
Wizards options is on (use your Help feature in product)

but assuming your button is already on your form...in Design View, open the
Property area and that is where you will find the 'OnClick' as one of the
events that can be programmed.

you can enter a DoCommand to open anything - - look that up

or you can first create a Macro to open anything...and then when in the
Properties of the button - in the 'OnClick' - - that Macro will appear in
the dropdown of this event if you look for it...

hope this overview helps a little

This is something specifically I am interested in adding "functional"
buttons
to your form. Can you recommend a good how to book with examples that
work and all. Because I can create a simple form, but I really didn't
not want
to get into the programming aspect to produce a nice presentable
workable
form.
And how does one get to this "Property Area" you briefly touched on ?
I wish
I could find a webcast that would step thru each aspect one aspect at a
time.
Like a webcast on Radio or Choice or List Buttons on a form and how to
design
a working "Autofill" subform.


Thanks
