Hi,
I was wondering if the following was possible, and if anyone could help on it.
Basically, my database holds details of nurses, where on the search screen users can search by course, specialism, status, personal tutor, and name. In the name box, users can only select items in the list, and when they press a go button it jumps to their record in a new form. What I was wondering was, could it be possible for this box to be used to search for items not in the list? For example, if a user enters "Dawson" and presses Go, because its not in the list, opens search results from a query.
The combo box has four fields, ID, Name, Course, Specialism
The ID field is not viewable, but is bound to the combo box.
Do you think something like this would be feasable? It could save so much grief for me!
David
