Search as you type

I have got this to work well. I have three searchboxes, LastNameSearch, FirstNameSearch and CompanySearch, they all work independently of each other. Is it possible to get the three searchboxes to work together so that the sort decreases over the three searchbox inputs, similar to Search Form 2.0 [extended cut video] where we built the SQL?
A big ask, i have tried ChatGPT but went round in circles, and not quite working?

Yea it should be the same code as you use in this one for the key press event, with the SQL setup from Search Form 2.0. I know this is covered in the Access Search Seminar if nothing else.

I have a Form EntityListF with three unbound textboxes called LastNameSearch, FirstNameSearch and CompanySearch. These all work using the Search as you type shown in the Techhelp. I have now moved the form onto anther form so that it is a Subform. The main form is called EntityListMainF, but is unbound, and more of a carrier, so that i can place 2 other forms on it. When i load the EntityListMainF i get three Enter Parameter Value? for the three search boxes - Forms!EntityListF!FirstNameSearch.Text, LastNameSearch.Text and CompanySearch.Text. i have gone through all my code and changed all references to the following - Forms!EntityListMainF!EntityListF.Form!LastNameSearch, FirstNameSearch and CompanySearch respectfully, so i am not sure why i am getting these errors? Any help will be appreciated.
