Here is an invaluable program that you can use to view and control the presentation of records in your database. We will use the Recordset object and the MaxRecords property via ADO, to set the number of records to return to the recordset and therefore to your screen. This is like a table in memory, holding records which are subdivided into individual fields.
When you're querying a Db typically you're looking for an exact match (=), less than (<), greater than (>), less than or equal to (<=), greater than or equal to (=>), or not equal to (< >). Which give you quite a number of ways that you can display your data, but with these operators a partial match is not allowed.

Searching within the current results will take the first search and add it to the new search and so on. Note the db only has 50 observations in it. For best results search on a letter and search for another letter within those results.
