Limit the records you retrieve by using criteria

You can retrieve specific records by using criteria. Microsoft Query uses your criteria to retrieve the records you want and displays them in the result set. To limit the records you retrieve, you can select a value in the result set and then find other records that match that value. Or, you can create specific criteria in the Criteria pane and then retrieve records that meet only that criteria.
