Hey folks,

I'm new to VB but my job requires it from time to time so I'm picking it up in bits and pieces. At the minute, I'm working on a database in MSAccess that is storing a large number of records in no particular order. I am trying to add a search function in a seperate form, which will retrieve certain records based on 9 fields which are entered by the user. The primary key is pretty complex hence the 9 fields.

Can you recommend what is the best way to go about creating something like this?

We have a few books on VB and MSAccess in the office but unfortunately no Internet access for security reasons. If I even knew where to start looking in the books that would be some progress...

Thanks for the help!
