cbo box selections

[Joanne]

When I type to get to the seletion I want to make in my cbobox, after I
have typed 2 letters, it grabs a selection and the rest of my typing
inserts itself in the middle of the selection, which is not the
selection I wanted to make in the first place.
I would like to keep typing characters until I get the selection I want,
even if it means typing 5 or 6 characters, much like the explorer module
in windows works.
Can someone tell me how to achieve this?
Thanks in advance
Joanne

That's what combo boxes normally do when you have the
AutoExpand property set to Yes.

II don't have any idea how you got it to insert characters.
Normally, the text beyond what you have typed is selected so
it will be replaced by the next character you type. The
matching item in the list will then use the (3) characters
you have entered.
