How to Create a Search-As-You-Type Box in Microsoft Access

In this Microsoft Access tutorial I'm going to teach you how to create a search-as-you-type box for your Microsoft Access forms.

Benjamin from Euclid, Ohio (a Platinum Member) asks: Is there a way to create a search box in my customer list form that allows me to quickly find a customer by their first or last name? Ideally, I'd like to start typing the first few characters and have it immediately direct me to that customer, similar to how a Google search begins showing results before you've finished typing. Is such a feature possible in Access?

Silver members and up get access to an Extended Cut of this video. Members will learn how to create a single text box to search on any field and have the results automatically update every time they press a key. Will make a button to clear the search box.
