Exercise 2: Find records and save your Find <strong>to</strong> re-use later<br />

What You’ll Do:<br />

• Enter search criteria and view the found records.<br />

• Also view the records omitted from the search, in one click!<br />

• Save and name the Find.<br />

• Perform the Find from Browse mode, without even taking the time <strong>to</strong> switch <strong>to</strong> Find mode.<br />

1. Open the same database you created in Exercise 1.<br />

2. From any view, click the Find icon in the Status Toolbar.<br />

A magnifying glass appears in every field.<br />

3. Enter the data you want <strong>to</strong> match in one or more fields. How about entering a State<br />

or Company name that you know is in your database. Then click Perform Find on<br />

the Status Toolbar.<br />

• Look at the records that match your criteria. You can switch between Form View,<br />

Table View, and List View.<br />

• Notice the pie chart in the upper left of the window, which shows how many<br />

records your search found out of all records.<br />

• Now click the Pie Chart icon <strong>to</strong> see all the records omitted from the search, a<br />

useful feature. If you searched for all records in California, clicking the Pie Chart<br />

will show you all the records outside of California.<br />
