Hi,

I am working on creating an electronic client database. It is a very simple design: for every client, a single form is completed with their information.

However, what I am looking to do is to add a function that allows me to search for specific records based on some criteria (e.g. last name, client id...).

For example, a new form called 'SearchForm' would have a field which I could type the criteria in and then with a click of a button it pulls up that client's information form. What I would like is some help with the VBA code for this, I am fairly new to VBA but willing to learn.

Your help is appreciated.

Select the data and press Alt+F1 to insert a default chart. You can change the default chart to any chart type
Thank you very much that video definitely got me started on the right path.

My ultimate goal was to have a form open up displaying the client record that the user searched for.

However, I've managed to deal with that by adding another button that allows the user to open a specific client record by inputting the unique ID (the unique id is found by using the search from the video).

Thanks again!!!
