Default AutoLookup in List Box

I am new to Access 2007 but have a lot of experience with the older versions
of Access and the wizard use to ask if you wanted to find a record based on
what you select in your list box. Well Access 2007 doesn't seem to have that
feature and I don't know who to get it to work without it. Can any one help?

Default AutoLookup in List Box

Use listbox on form and reference it in the query like this --
[Forms]![YourFormName]![ListBoxName]
You can add 'Like' and wildcards in front and/or behind.

Build a little, test a little.

The behavior you describe is offered for a ComboBox, not a ListBox.
That is if you are in design mode and the wizards are enabled.
