Help: Search form and fill in record for that field

I have a form that has values from many different tables. Here are the
tables:

- Questions(ID, UserID, Question)
- Users(UserID, Name, Email_Address, Other_Info)

So when I browse through each record, I see the question and who
submits the question. I can also modify the fields of both tables.

However, when I want to add a new question, I can start filling out the
question (it creates a new record in the Questions table). That also
creates a new record for a new user, which I don't want unless that the
user is not already in the database. So I'd like to use the user's
email address as a unique keyword to search to see if they're already
in the database. By typing the email address into the field and click
on "Search" or something, that will automatically fills in all other
fields (UserID, Name, Other_Info, etc.) into the form -- assuming the
user's already in the dB. If the user is not in the database, it
should allow me to fill in their information with a new record. Can
somebody walk me step-by-step through this? I'm such a newbie to
access.

Hi. I'm very new to MS Access and have been presented with an Access database of contacts by my employer. I am trying to redesign the main form of the database so that a button entitled 'search' may be clicked on by the user and the user can then search all records by postcode. I want to do this to prevent duplicate data entry.

Hi CroCrew et All, I am working on a project that will allow user to search for their opened projects (means the CompleteDate is NULL) and be able to update their WorkDescription. Once the record (ProjectID) is created, user can search for their opened projects using either their Username or ProjectID ok without problem because the CompleteDate is NULL at this time. One thing here is when you use your Username you can only search for opened...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
