how to search customer name by only enter one letter?

amy
I am new to access, building a query for doctor's info, on the query
design view, Last Name field, how to let people in a pop up window:
"Enter last Name", just put in any first letter to find the last names
begining with that letter. such as type in: y, will give all possible
last names begin with Y, or type in first two letter, or first three
letters... bring all possible matched for the letters in the last name?

I need to use [enter last name] to create the pop up window, but don't
know the rest, try use the LIKE, but don't work.

thanks for help

I'm self-taught in Access, and as such I'm missing large chunks of knowledge, so I'm hoping someone here with some training can help me. Right now I have an Invoice form with a Customer subform.

I have a form that displays customer information in a list. I have a text box to search for a specific customer in the list. What I would like to do is that as the user types the customer name it goes to the customer as the user types in the name. An example of this is in the index view of the help file. If you type in the letter 'b' it goes to the 'b' topic, as you type and you then type the letter 'r' (so now you have 'br') it goes to the...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
