How can I make the find function find the next available selection in a list if the what I type in is not there

e.g. suppose I type the name 'Walker' but there is not one on the list - how do I get it to show 'Wallis' which would be the next entry.

User wants this as sometimes they are unsure of just how to spell the name but require a starting point to scroll from.

You could use an input box where you have to only type in a bit of the surname eg "wal" then it would find each name starting with that. You can then have a "Yes / No" type message box to say the proper forename and surname date-of-birth etc.and if they say yes then bookmark the record to the form.
