now if i want to give the number as a input in the form, how do i go about it.

Answer 1

1. Add an unbound text control close to your button.

2. Update your button code to generate the query string as :

   ‘SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE myNumber =’ & me.controls(‘myControlName’).value

3. You might feel the need to make sure that the ‘myControlName’ control allows only numbers/do not accept null, or treat all cases in your procedure

myQuery = 'SELECT * FROM myTable' If Isnull(me.controls('myControlName').value) then Else     If isnumeric(me.controls('myControlName').value) then          myQuery = myQuery & ' WHERE myNumber =' & me.controls('myControlName').value          Else          msgBox me.controls('myControlName').value & ' is not accepted'          Exit function      Endif Endif
