Please connect your Adodc1 to the database and table first and then run this query

Do this

Private Sub cmdSearch_Click()
Dim Searchit As String, Founder As Boolean
Searchit = UCase(InputBox("Enter Item code:"))
If Len(Searchit) > 0 Then
'add this line
Adodc1.Refresh
Adodc1.Recordset.MoveFirst
Founded = False
End If
Do While (Not Founder) And (Not Adodc1.Recordset.EOF)
'u can add UCASE i just removed it for my query
If Adodc1.Recordset.Fields("item_code").Value = Searchit Then
Founder = True
'do something here because your query has matched. The loop is running aimless. do like this
MsgBox "You have queried for item code " & Searchit & " which belongs to " & Adodc1.Recordset.Fields(1)
'and exit procedure
Exit Sub
End If
Loop

If Not Founder Then
MsgBox "Unable to find the required item", , "Not Found"
Adodc1.Recordset.MoveLast
Else
MsgBox "Must enter an item code", , ""
End If
End Sub

I am uploading a sample project for ur reference.

Also make sure that u have selected the CommandType property of the ADODC object.
I have selected it as 2 - adCmdTable.

1. Right click on the ADODC object and open ADODC Properties.
2. In the RecordSource tab select the required command type.
3. And Table or stored procedure name if the RecordSource is "2 - adCmdTable" or "4 - adCmdStoredProc"
or
write the Command Text (SQL) if the RecordSource is "8 - adCmdUnknown" or "1 - adCmdText"

hope this solves ur problem

It may be something like this.

Do While (Not Founder) And (Not Adodc1.Recordset.EOF)
 If Adodc1.Recordset.Fields("item_code").Value = Searchit Then
  Founder = True
  'do something here because your query has matched. The loop is running aimless. do like this
  MsgBox "You have queried for item code " & Searchit & " which belongs to " & Adodc1.Recordset.Fields(1)
  'and exit procedure
  Exit Sub
 End If
 [B]Adodc1.Recordset.MoveNext[/B]
Loop
