I want to select specific records in an Access database consisted of up to 100,000 rows. The specific column, that I want to pick up the records from, starts from A00 to U99. Each record can be from 3 to 10 characters.
Your quick is help is appreciated.
Thanks
Mefaho

A query will serve this purpose. The wizard will help you create one. You can use it to restrict the records to show only what you want it to.

I know how to produce queries for the linked tables but I don't know how to restrict records for one table.
Thanks

Queries are not just for showing more than one table. They can restrict data. If you goto the design view of the query, there is a section there for criteria. That section is used to restrict the data. I'm not exactly sure what restrictions you want.
