    Question



    OK, I would like to have a combo box containing all the states. When the user starts to type, it will pull up the closest state that matches the text he is typing in.

    Example:

    User hits "M" and the first state listed with "M" would be displayed "Maine". User Continues to type "MAS" and Massachusetts" would be displayed next. User Types "MASA" and nothing is displayed I think you get the idea, Right? LOL

    So how can I do this? Is there an easy or standard way this is done?

    Thanks for reading this.

    Alcohol doesn't solve any problems, but then again, neither does milk.
