Find Record Error

[itprog]

I have a form with a form header section that contains a combo box and a text box. The form also has a detail section that has a tab control that contains the rest of the data entry boxes. I put a Find Record button in the detail section of my form. When I try to Find Record using the combobox or textbox values in the form header, I get an error saying it cant search the tab control, use the Gotocontrol action before the Find Record Action, change current field action from yes to no, or change the focus to a searchable control. If I search items in the detail section I do not get errors. The code created by the Find Record button is below. I'm not sure how to get it to set focus to the appropriate box in the form header section if that is the field I am searching on.

Private Sub cmdFind_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdFind_Click


Screen.PreviousControl.SetFocus
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 10, , acMenuVer70

Exit_cmdFind_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_cmdFind_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_cmdFind_Click

Hello itprog!
Open form i design view, rub off this VBA and Combo Box.
Click on Toolbox icon, inculude Control Wizards (on toolbox), chose a Combo Box, put Combo Box on your
form (form header). "Combo Box Wizard" going to open,
chose "Find a record on may form based on the value......",
click "Next" button, follow wizard.
