Can somebody help me with the code for finding a record by typing its number.I have a table of products.
and each product has an unique number.The first Record is called ProductID.What i need is a command aksing me the number of the product (ProductID) and then finding it. I have looked through some examples of FindFirst in the books,but i am afraid they are already obsolete.

Assuming your records are in a table, have you tried Edit, Find from the main command bar?

Assuming you are launching your search from a Form, you could create a parameter query that launches when a form is opened or you press a Command button you create that will ask you for the Unique ID. The Parameter Query would then pass back the data you are looking for.

I would use a combo box in the header or the footer of the form with the ProductID.
In the After Update of the Combo box :

Private Sub cmbProductID_AfterUpdate()
   On Error GoTo PROC_ERR
   DoCmd.GoToControl "ProductID"
   DoCmd.FindRecord cmbProductID, , , acSearchAll, , acCurrent
   Exit Sub
PROC_ERR:
   MsgBox "There was an error : " & Error$
   Resume Next
End Sub

This assume you name your combobox cmbProductID, you have a textbox named ProductID on the form.
