    Try using an SQL statement, such as

    Try looking at the built in search wizard.  Click the wizard button, then add the button, select the Search option.  This button will then search your database based on the field you are on... I believe there are other options, too..


    It basically does a SELECT like the one James mentioned.


    Good luck.
