How can I make a specific record the current record displayed on my edit form? I want to be able to type in a criteria in text box and move to the first record found matching the criteria. I have tried this using the findfirst method to no avail. I created the form with the wizard.

if you used the wizard to create the form, chances are you'd have to use this syntax:
DoCmd.FindRecord [criteria]
For instance, if you were typing in a LastName text box and then clicked a button to find, you'd do this:
LastName.setfocus
DoCmd.FindRecord "LastName = '" & LastName & "'"
This pulls the value from the text box and searches for it.

Try using the recordsetclone. e.g.
Me.RecordsetClone.FindFirs
Me.Bookmark = Me.RecordsetClone.Bookmark
In the afterupdate event of the textbox or behind a command button.
