MsAccess 2000 Find/Replace Feature Isn't Available

[Joshua]

Hello,

I have encountered a weirdest thing. Same dbase in Forms, there are several
forms created (Form1...Form5..etc). In Form1 or Form2 or Form3 everything is
fine. Form4 or Form5 is different. I can't find the "FIND" feature or
binocular icon.

Tried to maually added "FIND" feature. It added. However got error when
clicked on"The command or action "FIND" isn't available now". Any idea?

Tried issue CTRL+F it works but why?I am recently inherit the dbase,
structurally puzzle!!!

Anyone can lend a hand appreciated.

Thx in advance

Check the Form's Properties. Does it have a Recordsource property? Is
that property the name of a table, or of a query, or a SQL string
which returns records?

Some forms are "unbound" - they have no recordsource; on such forms
the binoculars are indeed not available (because there are no records
to search).
