You can do this in your SQL
SELECT People Info
WHERE LastName LIKE 'A%'
This would be for people with last names that start with A.

Hi,
In Yahoo address book, they have this list for finding a particular
person easily
by the first letter of their last name:
All - A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z - Li
A real easy way would be too.
Make a field to store the first letter of the last name.
Grab the first letter, save it to that field, index the field
since you will be searching on it.
Then
SELECT fields
FROM Users
WHERE letter = 'A'
Voila, very quick and effecient.
You can even just add
Do a Query on
SELECT *
FROMDBTable
WHERE LastName LIKE "A%"
You will get all the records which last name start with "A".

Well, "all" is easy... but if you click, say, "B", on the next page,
SELECT *
FROM Users
WHERE LastName LIKE 'B%'
That should get you all the records where LastName starts with B. Naturally
you'll put in a variable in your query...
WHERE LastName LIKE '#initial#%'

select whatever
from userdatabase
where
lastname like 'A%'
will give you everyone who's last name starts with 'A'.

Thanks for your replies.
I think I didn't elaborate the question clearly.
What I need is to output the list:
All - A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z - Lists
If there are persons last names start with "B", B should be a hot link.
If there is no one's last name starts with "Q",
I would start by coding it this way.
The select statement to create the letters would be:
SELECT DISTINCT upper(left(LastName, 1))
FROM Name
ORDER BY upper(left(LastName, 1))
Then I would look through the resulting query to create the actual links.
The HREF for each letter would have a URL var

If there are

Grr... I just saw Russel's reply and had completely glossed over the
DISTINCT idea... that would alleviate the 'too dang big valuelist result'
issue :)

This is not as fast as:
WHERE lname LIKE 'A%'
when the "lname" column is indexed.

Actually, adjusting my previous code to make it faster -
Contains is much faster than any List commands...
