I am trying to search for a client in one of my tables by using something like a Data grid or a look like this that the user could type in a couple of letters from the last name and get a list of the clients and pick the one that they want. When they pick the one that they want it will come up on a form where they can update the information.

I am a newbie to Visual Basic and would appreciate any help that anyone could give me or point me in a direction that would accomplish this task.

Thanks in advance for your help.

If you set a ComboBox to that field, then as the user types in the box the box will do "quick lookup," jumping to the first entry in the list that matches the letters typed so far.
You should be able to use the box’s on change or on update events to perform the actions you need after a selection has been made.

Cool!! I was hoping that something like that would work but hadn't went in that direction yet. Thanks so much for you help. I will let you know the outcome when I get it working.
