Answer 1

Hi,

Assuming that contract no and user name are Text type fields you need to enclose the strings in apostrophe's to enclose text/strings

something like

DoCmd.RunSQL "SELECT Help.cont_no, Help.Req_no, Help.Br_name, Help.br_code, Help.Remarks, Help.Status, Help.username, Help.case, Help.date FROM Help

WHERE (((Help.cont_no)=" & "'" & [Forms]![search-test]![cont_no])) & "'" & " OR ....

Thanks
