  1. On the main toolbar, click the Suppliers button.

  2. In the Find Suppliers window, in the Search for field, type in the name (or part of the name) of the supplier you want to search for.

    Note: To display all the suppliers, either leave the Search for field blank and then click Search, OR type "%" in the Search for field and then click Search.

  1. Select the Hide form when only one item found check box if required.

    If you select the Hide form when only one item found check box, and there is only one record that matches your search criteria, the application directly displays the relevant page for that record instead of the search results page, where you would have to click the listed record to open it.

  2. Select the Search any part of name/code check box if required.

    If you select the Search any part of name/code check box then the search results that are returned will contain the search criteria you have entered in any part of the record name. When this check box is unchecked, only records with the search criteria at the beginning of the name will be returned. For example:

    • you enter 'mit' in the Search for field when searching for an employee. The Search any part of name/code check box is clear. The results will only contain employees that have 'mit' at the beginning of their first or last name, such as 'Mitchell' or 'Mitch'.
    • you enter 'mit' in the Search for field when searching for an employee. The Search any part of name/code check box is selected. The results will shown any employee whose name contains 'mit' somewhere within it, such as 'Smith', 'Mitchell' or 'Amit'.

  3. Click 'Search' or press the [Enter] key.
    The results that match your search criteria are listed in the window.
