I have a search screen in MS Access 2003, with a unbound text box to
put in the parameter to search. I need to have all the text boxes in
the columnar display blank on form load. How do it do this?

so you have a search box and a continous form
and if there's nothing in the search box, you want the form to show
nothing ?
set the form's recordsource to
select * from yourTable where 1 = 2

and once you entered something in the search box, set the recordsource
to
"select * from yourTable where somefield = '" & searchbox & "'"

My result for the search is working through a subform. THere is no
code as such to populate the form. So how do i do it in this case?
