I'm hoping this is the correct section to post this. I am talking about forms
Anyway, I've googled, googled, and googled for this but I just can't find what I'm looking for. I'm creating a "phone book" for myself. Keep track of hundreds of contacts. Of course, I'm not the only one accessing it. I'd like to create a combo box where I can type, say, a last name. I type it and hit enter, it brings up a list of people with that last name. Or it could bring up a form of the first person with that last name.
If there's another way than combo boxes, please let me know. I'm only talking about them because that's the only way I can think of.
If there's anything with directly putting in code and not using a wizard, PLEASE be as informative as possible as I've only been working with Access for a short time.
Thanks.
