I have a list of items let's say
 
facility Code 1 = 23
facility Code 2 = 39
facility Code 3 = BU
 
facility 1 = china
facility 2 = usa
facility 3 = canada
 
When the user types into a text field and clicks a search button I want it to display the corresponding facility.
 
For example...
 
The user inputs BU into the text field and clicks a search button
 
I would like a message to appear showing...
 
Your facility is Canada
 
Users will always know a facility code number but not the corresponding facility.
 
Can anyone help me out with this?
 
Thanks in advance for your help/efforts.

Why not use a combo box that list the facility codes and exports the name for the selected facility to a text field.

You can even keep the updating of codes simple by have a document level array that loads the combo box when the PDF is opened.
