HI all...and MANY thanks for all your help...indeed very valuble...i understand that tehre are many ways to solve this..hm...i call the Basket View form from the main meny and a textfield (Search) with a command button that on the click event triggers this code...as a mater of fact i used the principle from a MVP...Mr.Browns "search form..In my main Meny i use one textfield and then 6 command buttons..each with a code that is related to this textfield..and IF the data matches..Then the related form opens..if not..or Else..i created a small Msgbox myself...
