Find a specific record by scrolling in a Datasheet or form

If there are more records than fit in your Datasheet view or continuous form window, you can use the scroll box on the scroll bar to find a specific record.

Next to the scroll box, Microsoft Access displays the number of the record at the top of the screen.

If you have a Microsoft IntelliMouse, you can use the wheel button to scroll to a specific record depending on your current view.
