>I want to add a field to the form that will act as a search field. This field should be accessible opposite of every other field in the form, meaning I can enter information into it when I'm in browse mode, but not when I'm in edit mode. After entering information into this field, I want it to be able to search the table for that particular part number, then refresh the screen to show that part's information.

returns to the base,
recharges the mind with new light and you leave again
