Printing of Records
You can print records in both Datasheet and Form Views. To do so, select Print from the File menu. You can also select Print
Setup and Print Preview from the File menu. These commands, combined with the Filter/Sort command, will be useful when
you’re designing customized reports.
Find Command
While you’re in Form View or Datasheet View, you can go to Edit -> Find or click the Find icon to search through your records
for specific information. For example, you could search the database for gages located in a certain department or for gages you
purchased last year.
You can search for any text string, including a phrase, a word or part of a word. You can also use wildcard characters to make
the search more general. For faster searches, search for the first few characters within a single field.
The Find box remains open during searches, so you can find as many records as you want without repeatedly selecting the Find
command. If necessary, drag the Find box out of the way so that you can see your records. To find data:
1.Display the table or form for the records you want to search.
2.Select the field (column) in which you want to search, unless you want to search in all fields. However, remember that
searching a single field is faster than searching in all fields.
3.From the Edit menu, choose Find or click the Find icon. The Find window appears.
4.In the Find What box, type the text you want to find. Use wildcard characters (such as “*”and “?”) to make your
search more general:
5.Set other Find dialog box options, if necessary, i.e., Match Case.
6.To find the first or the next occurrence of the text, click the Find Next button.
7.When you’re finished, close the form by clicking the X at the top right corner of form.
