What specific problems are you having? A database that isn't
searchable isn't a database at all, and Access IS searchable. What
have you tried? What do you expect to happen, and what does happen?

Note that a Form by default is designed for *data entry*. You can
choose Query by Form from the menu or from the toolbar in order to
search your table using the form but if you just open a form and start
typing, you'll be editing the data in the table.
