it's not as hard as it seems.
add a form to the page where you want to search from
textbox = fmSearch (or whatever u want to call it), point the form action to a results page like myResults.asp
add a go/submit button.
now on the myResults page, create a recordset and filter it by
lastname = Form Variable (fmSearch) - or whatever you've named the textbox on the previous page.
and drag what fields you want displaying for the record onto the page.
i think that's it, i haven't used this for a while it's off the top of my head.
