DBList control/serach

I have a DBList control populated with the "Name" field of a recordset.

I also have a textbox above it, which I would like to be able to type in characters and the dblist progrssively "homes" in on the desired name.

I know how to achieve this with a standard listbox, but I can't get the DBlist box to perform the same way. Any ideas (would this still be known as a Binary Search?)

Thanks

Have you figured this out? I am trying to do the exact same thing with no luck. I have been able to get the index of the record to match the characters they type, but I can see no way to set the selected Item.

Also, i see that it has some kind of built in searching functionality, "MatchEntry" but i cannot find any documentation on how to use this.

Go to this page I tried doing what you are doing with help from Red Thread using DBComdo

Good Luck
