FIND THAT RECORD

You're probably familiar with the navigational toolbar at the bottom of your Access forms. The toolbar includes five buttons that enable you to browse the records. These buttons, while convenient, limit you to moving one record at a time, or moving to the first or last record. You can't move to a specific record.

Conveniently, the toolbar also houses a text box that displays the number for the current record. You can use this control to move to a specific record, as long as that number isn't greater than the number of records in the underlying record set. For instance, if you're on record number 1 in a record set of 50, entering the value 25 and pressing Tab or Enter takes you to record 25, entering the value 47 displays the record 47, and so on.
