Hi, i am a beginner to access and need some help if someone would be kind enough...
i have a table (tblCustomer) which has all the standard customer details such as name, address, phone etc. The primary key of the table is a autonumber field (Customer ID). i have autoformed it so all the fields are now on a blank form. I want to add a text box to the form so that i can find a record by typing the customer's surname. Once this has been searched, i would like the records to be listed in a table in a subform further down the original form. I would then like the user to select the correct record they are looking for from the sub form, and the details to come up in the main form so they can be edited. The reason for the whole sub form part is because there may be more than one customer with the same surname.
please could someone suggest how to achieve this.
thanks
