Search Form

I have created a search form that has unbound text boxes to search the
database. There are fields for SSN's, FEIN's and a permit number.
When I search on any of these numbers I get multiple records even
though these records are all unique?

Any pointers will help, I wish I could load the database here.

thanks

Dave,

I recently built an app which searched rego numbers, makes and models
of vehicles. I set the record source of the form to the table, and put
search boxes for the search fields in the form header. I wanted to
dynamically limit the records (enter "a" into the rego box, and
immediately only display those regos beginning with a, enter "b" and
display regos commencing "ab" etc).

I used the keypress event of the textboxes to construct an sql
statement "select * from tblvehicle where [rego]='" & txtrego &"';"
and set the form recordsource to the sql statement, requeried the form
and displayed the new list.

If you want to only return after complete entry, use the afterupdate
event.
