Hello,

Can you please advise what simple steps to look my list when typing only the first letter and it will prompt me automatically the name i want by showing me the selection wherein the first letter will appear. Attached an example to support my query. Say if i have a hundreds list in the names maybe this would be useful to apply. Actually at the moment this is in drop down menu and i need to scroll it down if i want to look for a name i want which is time consuming. Thanks.
