I followed along and made a great contact database, however, on your Entries to search for a record and the requery button, it is not working correctly.  Only one column is working and when I set clear the boxes 1/2 of my data is hidden.  Also, the date search isn't working.  When I did a Walmart search in the company, it gave me results.  When I cleared and typed in McDonalds, It appears that Walmart stayed in memory and got one result back that says Walmart Mcdonalds and there are actually about 20 in my database.  Anybody who is good can help me?  Can even jump on Google Remote Desktop if you want.  I am brand new at access.
