Searching Records for Information
A database can contain a tremendous amount of information. If you had
to search manually through hundreds of records in your database to
find a particular record, it could take hours. An OmniForm search,
however, can retrieve records with the information that you need in
seconds.
These retrieved records are called a
found set.
You can print, mail, or
export the found set if you wish.
To search for information:
1 If you are in design view, click the Fill button in the fill toolbar
or choose
Fill
in the View menu to switch to fill view.
2 Choose
Search...
in the Records menu.
The Search dialog box appears.
3 Select a field name in the
Field Name
drop-down list.
This is the field that contains the information you want to find.
All the fields in your form are listed here.
