I'm sorry, but I don't understand the question.

What button do you call "Next" button? Next what? Record? Block?

Saying that your form contains these items is just not true. You can't have 3 items whose names are "A" - item names should be unique. Therefore, I suppose that these are items' values. However: is that a multi-record block, or is it a form layout block with several items that contain these letters?

Saying that you want to search (for?) 'A': how do you know that you want to search for A (and not D, for example)?

I might be wrong, but the whole idea seems to be wrong. Presume that it is a multi-record data block. In that case, you should:
- enter query
- put A into an item
- execute query
and you'd get all records (that contain A in that item) that exist in the underlying table.

a) Consider using built-in Forms functionalities (i.e. its querying mechanism)
b) Please, re-read what I said, sentence by sentence, and answer questions I asked.
