If you want to break on every initial letter:

Set the GroupOn of LastName to "Prefix Characters"
Set the GroupInterval to 1
Set the GroupHeader = "On"
Set ForceNewPage in the GroupHeader to "Before Section"

If you want to group by A-K, M-R, S-Z,
you can create a function and sort/group on that before your LastName
sort/group.

Function GroupBlock(LastName as string) as long Select Case
UCase(Left(LastName,1))
   Case "A" to "K"
      GroupBlock = 1
  Case "M" to "R:
      GroupBlock = 2
   Case"S" to "Z"
      GroupBlock = 3
   Case Else 'capture numbers etc
      GroupBlock = 0
End Select
End Function

Now either set a top sort/group of = "GroupBlock(LastName)"
or
include GroupBlock(Lastname) as a field on your report's record source and
group on it.
