    I have a combo box that is populated from an Access table. How would I make so that that when the user types in the combo box it skips down/up to the item in the list that matches the spelling (like bound Access/VBA combo boxes)

    Right now it doesn't go past the first letter. I assume I have to put code in the change event but I'm stuck. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Thanks Megatron,

    But I need it to skip to the correct entry after more than 1 character is entered as well. For example if the combobox contains the following:

    Apples
    Apricots
    Pears

    Should the user type "Apr", I would like it to jump to "Apricots"

    As of now, when the user types "Ap", it jumps to "Pears" as soon as the "p" is entered.

    <?>

    use the Microsoft DBBound Combo
    Style=2
    Matched Entry = 1

    Will not show it in the text section but will advance it to the 1st. position below the text box.
