Hi
In principle:
Make a query
Set the criteria of the relevant columns to
Like Form!YourFormName!YourTextBoxName & "*"
you need to substitute your own Form Name and text box control names of course
To execute the search, depands on if the form is bound to above query, if it is a simple Me.requery will do it, if it is not you need to open a recordset based on the query
