Hi Group, I'm reposting this question because my previous attempt appeared as a reply to someone else's question. When I open one of my DBs in Access 2000 SP2, I can get the Form view to begin with the Find dialog box already open, but I don't know how to set the default options. For example, I'd like the Find dialog to open with "View/Edit Addresses" in the "Look In" drop-down window, and "Any Part of Field" in the "Match" window, and "All" in the "Search" window, etc. Thanks for the help. Ray Shapp PS, What terms should I use in searching the Help files for this kind of question? ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
