Using a combobox to search

[KnightShift]

Hi All:

I have a "customer information" db that has 2 layouts. Layout 1 contains the basic customer information (name, address etc) and Layout 2 will contain special info about a customer (also contains a name field [different field] from basic].

I've created an internal link from the basic layout "basic customer name" (unique fieled) to the customer information layout field "customer name". Setting this field to a combo box I can select any of the customers in the basic layout.

Here's what I'd like to do: When selecting the customer field in layout 2 from the name combo box field, I'd like to search and find the record number that, that customer's record is in and return data for that record number.

I want the combobox to be a search field and button(by selection), returning data n a sepfic field. Or how do I use a combo box to search?

Hope I've explained this faily well

Thanks

Well, I resolved this issue in another fashion. I setup a search script

and used the "Insert from Index" function (populated with the customer names).

This did the trick (although I wist the index box was wider).
