the best you can do is sort on the name, then page down until you're there.
A trick would be to have a column with a formula with, say, the first 3 characters of the name (using the left-function). Then you can put an autofilter on the table, and select the appropiate value.
You might like to make separate columns with 2, 3, 4 and 5 letters.
I won't annoy you by telling how I should do it in Access.
