Lookup on a form

I have a continuous form that displays a list of records, and I use that
form for looking up a record. The user types the last name of
the client in the unbound txtLookup field, and txtLookup's AfterUpdate
property takes them to the matching last name in the list.

This works, but it would be sweet if, like in Outlook's Contact screen, each
character the user types would bring them closer to the matching name on the
list. So it would be more of an "AsUpdate" event, rather than an
"AfterUpdate" event, if you know what I mean. Can anyone help my Access
record locator form to act more like the MSOutlook Contacts record locator
interface?

TIA,
Kathy
