Thanks,

That will give me what I want. On thing I notice is that the search result 
brings up anything found with the matching characters, not just something 
that starts with what I type. I actually like that better than what I 
planned, but if I wanted to limit it to just the starting characters of a 
name field, is there a way to filter it that way?
