    When the user types a letter (or name) in a text box,txtFind, filter the list of all records:

    Code:
    sub txtFind_afterupdate()
      Me.filter= "*" & txtFind & "*"
      me.filterOn = true
    end sub

    If you want to use buttons, behind each button use ranman's code but with a hard -coded value. Behind the A button:

    Me.filter= "FieldName Like 'A*'"
    me.filterOn = true

    Replacing "FieldName" with the name of the field you want the filter applied to.
