I have tried using the find record functionality within Access 2000, but it doesn't seem to work all that well.

Is it possible to code my own 'find record' function, and if so, how? any ideas.
I'm not very experienced at coding etc, so any 'walkthroughs' you may be able to offer will be appreciated!

The find function could possibly have some pull-down menus, so the user may enter criteria, such as customer, event, ID, date etc.
Does anyone know how to do this?

thanks
Matthew
 
Why dont you make a query? You could place all the fields you want to search by. For each or for several fields criteria you could put this [Enter Customer Name]. This Would siplay all the records matching what the user inputs into the query. It would take alot of programming and i mean alot to do what you are asking. It can be done but it is very hard especially for a novice. Look into the 'like'fuction in criteria also.
Vote for me if you found the advice helpful!
