Retrieval of records

10
Hi I am new using Access database. I have created a table with several fields like (letter categrory, letter type, letter name etc) in access, using forms and inserted few records in my table. now I wanted to know like if i type in an existing letter name(already placed in a record) in the text field provided for letter name in my form, I need to retrive all other fields of that particular record.

say for example, my record has
Letter categrory : intr
Letter type : haaad
Letter Name : abcdef

Now if i type in abcdef for letter name in my forms window, the forms window should display values of letter type and letter name.
how do i do this

Put an unbound ComboBox on your form with the wizard and select option #3.
