Read-only form with subform navigation issues

I have a main form with three subforms.
The Main form lists information about a Household such as address and
phone.
The subforms are listings of People, Vehicles and Emergency contacts.
The only subform that could need a vertical scroll box is the
Residents subform.

What I would like to do is this:

1. be able to allow typing with the focus anywhere, which would filter
the household name such as typing S would take you to the first
household beginning with s. Then typing M would take you the first
occurance of SM, and so on. If you typed SMITH it would take you top
the first smith.

2. I'd like to code the ESC key to clear the search and take you to
the beginning of the records.

3. Set the arrow up and arrow down keys to control the movement up or
down in the People subform, so you wouldn't have to use the mouse to
click into focus on the subform.

I've searched for answers to these questions, but I just can't seem to
find the right keyword combinations to get me the results that I need.

Any help would be appreciated
