If the user types values into the fileds and then clicks find i want to go gte the data, then represent on the screen what they asked for or a grid of results if more than one entity existed. this would be a logical AND build for the filert so if they filled in more than one field it would be field1 AND field2 as the search criteria.

Yes you can.
Your form can have a 'search' button and a 'update' button sharing the same form.
On the server check for the post variable with the name of the button.
FYI when you click on a button in a web form, the button name and value are sent to the server, if there is another button in the same form the other button name is not sent at all.
HTH :)
