data control to display only certain records

[Bebe]

i have a subroutine that prompts the user for a case number; if they type in 000000 i need all the cases w/ 000000 to show up in the form and the user can click the arrow on the databound control to go through only the records with a case number of 000000

also how could i show all these records using a grid; i need a number they input to pull up a grid w/ all the records relating to that inputted number; like the 000000. So every case number w/ 000000 would appear in the grid. It needs to be exchangeable though depending on what number is entered by the user.

Need serious help!!!!

Thanks

Add this line of text to the "criteria" line in your query.
[Select number]. This will ask for the number each time the query is run. It will produce only those records. You can view the query instead of a form or report and it will show all the records that met the criteria.
You can activate it by using a button that call opening the query.

Hope this helps.

I am not sure i understand. the query would be based on what the user inputs into a input box.

whatever the case number is; i need to find all records relating to that case.

Help!!!

can you give specific code on how to do this?

you may change the recordsource statement on every user input as below:

Data1.RecordSource = "SELECT <Your Field Name> FROM <Your Table Name> WHERE <Your Field Name>=<User Input Value>;"
Data1.Refresh :)
