Help sorting and viewing on "company initial" field

[bluevortexbug]

I have created my first contact database but I am stumped on one thing. I have created a "company initial" field to to group my companies by their first letter, but now I would like to sort my List View so that ONLY those companies that have that initial are shown.

I can get the list to sort by the initial but it is still the entire database rather that each letter of the alphabet.

The next thing I would like to do is to add alpha buttons to the layout (pix attached) and define them so that when clicked on the appropriate companies with the letter are visable. I can't seem to get there.

Can anyone please help?

If you want only a subset to show in list view then it has to be a found set. So you will need to do a find on the initial - followed by a sort if you want them sorted. Similarly with the alpha buttons, you will need a scripted find attached to each button.
