It is easy to find and delete records with a data form, even if the list you are working with is very large. First, click on a cell in the list so you can see the blue asterisk and the thick blue border. Choose Data->Form from the menu bar to display the data form for your list.
To find a record, you can mouse drag the handle on the scroll bar, or click the up or down arrows at the top and bottom of the scroll bar to cycle through the records.
If you know some of the information for the record you are looking for, you can find the record quickly clicking the criteria button.
This will clear the filed boxes in the form, and you will see a Criteria heading at the top right of the form.
(For this example, we will enter the name Chuck into the name field).
If the information you type, is in a record in the list, the fields of the record you want to find should be displayed in the data form’s field boxes after you click Find Next.
Now that the record has been found, you can alter the fields, or you can delete it from the list by clicking the Delete button.
