Bound Column

[RC-]

Hi All, I have a drop down list that shows a list of items. If I start
typing in the list, for example "01-0312..." the item in the list is
highlighted automatically for me. I hope that there is a way to change the
"bound column" to allow me to enter other information and have it
hightlighted on the list.

Example:

EquipNo EquipDesc EquipModel
01-03113-2 Steam Roller SR-08113
01-08136-1 Pickup Truck F250
01-05883-9 Steam Roller AT-91KA

I want to change the "bound column" so if the user starts typing in "Steam
Roller". Is there a way to do this?

It isn't a case of what's the bound column: it's a case of which column is
first in the list.

Change the order of the columns so that EquipDesc appears first, and then
you'll be able to type the description in.

Should probably have mentioned that rather than reorder the columns in the
list box, you could also hide the first column (by setting its width to 0)

Yep, that did it!!

Thanks
