Bypass find view

[locator8]

Hi,

I am trying to set up a database where the operator types a few letters of a name, clicks a button and is taken to a form to fill in other data. Clearly, I can use find view then go to the form but I am hoping to cut down the steps. The other thing I would like is for the operator to be able to type letter combinations from anywhere in the name ie first name or last name. Pop up lists won't identify multiple examples of a name eg smith. If I use a concatenated First and Second name in a pop up it is better but I can't go from there to the form with that client's details. Any ideas

Thanks
