Unfortunately, the list box doesn't have built-in auto-expand or
"auto-search" capabilities the way a combo box does.  In a list box
(unless you write some special code), to find the next item that starts
with "G", you just press "G" again.  You can press the same letter over
and over to cycle through all the list items that start with that
letter -- it will go back to the first "G" in the list when you run out
of "G"s.

It's possible, I think, to write code to make the list box act the way a
combo box does.  I thought I had an example of that lying around in my
"test and demo" database, but I can't find it at the moment.  Let me
know if you want me to try to find that -- or write it over again.  But
maybe just knowing how the list box is supposed to work is enough for
you.

Sounds like you could use a combo box in place of the list box.  With a combo
box you can type in the name and it will appear and it will continue no
matter how many characters in the name you type.

Worked great for me.  I started with the list box, but went to the combo box
in all my applications.

Hope it helps,
