    The error message "search key not found in any records" typically indicates that the specific search criteria you are using do not match any records in the table you are trying to load. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

    1. Check the Search Criteria: Ensure that the search key or criteria you are using is correct and matches the data in the table. Look for any spelling errors or incorrect values.
    2. Verify Table Contents: Open the table directly to confirm that it contains the records you expect. If the table is empty or does not have the expected records, you will need to add the relevant data.
    3. Adjust Search Scope: If applicable, widen the search scope to include more records or different criteria that might yield results.
    4. Review Relationships: If the table is part of a relationship with other tables, ensure that the related records exist and are correctly linked.

    If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to further investigate the table structure or the data being queried.
