I am trying to make a find box in Form Design so I can search for records
without having to go the the Edit-Find process on the Access tool bar. My
combo box wizard does not have the third choice "Find a recond on my form
based on athe value I selected in my combo box" that I am seeing in several
books that I am using for reference. The MS Office Update says I have all the
latest updates. Am I doing something wrong?

You will not get that 3rd choice unless the form that the combo box is
placed on is bound to a table.
Give the form a record source then try again.
