Locating a Record

Often you will want to locate a particular record or group of records. There are several ways to do this:

• Sort the list into some order so that the records you require are together. Use the scroll bar to move through the list.
• Use the search box in the list window to do a text search to locate the record(s) that you require.
• Use the Find by Field command to locate the record(s) that you require based on a nominated value in a specified field, or the Find by Formula for records based on some complex search criteria.

Typing into a List

• Sort the list by an appropriate column heading and type in the first few characters of the value you are after (only works for text columns, not date or numeric). The list will be positioned at a record whose field matches the characters that you have typed in.
