Combo letter

[rob p]

I have a table with company data. ABC, CCC, DED, DEF are typical company
ID's. I want to use a combo box so the user can select the company ID they
want. As the combo list gets larger, is there a way to configure the combo
so you can put in the first letter of the ID and jump to that part of the
alphabet?

Thanks.

That's how most combo boxes work by default. This is the "Auto Expand"
property.

Set the Combo Box AutoExpand property to Yes.

So simple. One of those things that if you didn't know existed as an option
wouldn't look for. thanks.
