Take a look at Queries->Parameter Queries in the Help system.

If you want to use the name of the column in your prompt, just put a ? in the criteria. Otherwise put "=[Enter_Name]", for example, in the criteria. (As I recall, this was the same syntax in Access, but I could be wrong.)

having is I cannot figure out how to create a query that, when run, will ask me 
specifically what I am looking for. IOW, in this database, there is a field named 
"LastName".  When  run the query, I want it to ask me spcifically whic last 
name I am searching for.  Can someone please help?  THANKS!
