Here is the situation.
The app I wrote is replacing an old FoxPro for Dos app. There is one thing that prg could do which I cannot seem to duplicate in Access and users want it.
Users can use a list/combo box of client names, choose one and upon clicking it bring up that person's record.
But if there are 50 people whose last name begins with 'S' they can only type 'S' and get to that section of names. They CANNOT then type an 'M' and have the listing go to 'SM' names, then if they type 'I" have it go to 'SMI' (so they could now be maybe at 'Smiths').
They could do this in the old dos foxpro prg.
Any ideas? Thanks.
