Access 2007 FindRecord Macro does not work

Why does the macro need to go to the last record?
(Remove that section of the macro and see what happens)

All that is needed is to move to the matching record.

I don't see anything wrong with the Find record portion of the macro...
Are you sure you spelled the names properly?, Are you sure none of the objects were renamed?

I deleted the go to last record portion. I suppose there must have been some reason for that, but I can't remember.

Unfortunately deletion of that line did not make a difference. The macro just takes me to the first record and sits there.

Instead of using the the location statement for "Find What" I just substituted some text. With the text, everything works fine. So, there must be something going on with the location statement, but I can't figure it out

Oh,
Your "Match" argument is set to "Start of Field"...
Change it to: "Any Part Of Field"

...because if you type your search wrong (bad spelling) the macro will just sit there, ...as you state.
Because there are no matches.

FWIW,  a very similar Macro works just fine for me...

Try using an unbound combobox instead, filled with the key field (usually in an invisible column) and the first and last name.  This is the boilerplate code for the AfterUpdate event of the combobox (use either the numeric or text line, depending on the key field):

Private Sub cboSelect_AfterUpdate()
