I have 3 more questions for you regarding your solution.

1. SSN
The SSN column is formatted as "Special" / Social Security Number i
the Excel file.

When viewing the SSN: it shows with dashes (123-45-6789) but if I pul
the value from Excel into the form as a string it displays with out th
dashes (123456789) which suites my needs.

After the above experiment Im assuming the ssn is just a string or tex
and not a number.

2. Im not sure If I understand your last line of code, what is the Cln
used for?

iRow = whateveryouchose.match_(*CLNG*(_CustSSN), _
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("f27:f307"), 0)

3. With this piece of code, I will be able to take values from th
record and display them in my form, correct?

Thanks again, Im working on trying your code right now

1. No that means it is a number, it is just the format that adds the -

2. Clng is coercing it into number in case it is a string.

3. Yes, but you only get the row where a match is found, you still have work
to do.

Just to add to Bob's response.

#1. It looked like you were using some sort of textbox to ask the user what
the SSN to retrieve.

That value in the textbox is text--so you have to make it match the values
(which are numbers formatted pretty) in your data--hence, the clng()
portion.

#2. see #1 <bg.

#3. Maybe <vbg.
