Access use text box to filter form data as user types

Hi
I use the following to filter a list box in the row source of the first image
Like "*" & [forms]![f_List_ActionType].[txtSearchActionType].[Text] & "*"
I now want to do something similar in a form shown in the second image. There is no rowsource
so how do I do I achieve something similar

say what? can't tell what you are wanting to do.  Need a little more description... and use rowsource or recordsource properly as the form has a recordsource, but there are no controls on the form that have a rowsource.
