Running queries via forms

[Andy]

Hello everybody

I have a question on running queries via a form. My situation is – a
have a query (qrysearch) and this query has a number of fields e.g.
(company, employee etc). My form is linked into the query and has the
same fields as the query. I would like to use my form as a way of
searching for records by typing in text in the appropriate text boxes
on the form.

Currently, I can link the form fields into the query, however, the
query doesn't pull back any data unless the user enters a criteria in
each of the forms text boxes. I would like to know if there is a way
of running the query without having to enter data into each text box
on the form e.g. just entering data in the ‘company' field and leaving
the ‘employee' field blank or visa versa.

Many Thanks for your assistance
Andy
