Im building a ticket system for my company and i was wondering if i can
link a text box up to a table instead of a combo box. For example can i
link up a text box to my techs table, and when the staff uses it they
will just type in their name. If i have a drop down box all of the
techs will show up and i dont want that. Is there anyway around this or
will i have to use a combo box.

Thanks in advance.

If there are no suggestions, I have a work round for you.

Use the Combo box but set the list rows value to 1 and the Column Widths to
0 in the properties of the ComboBox. The user will still see a short drop
down box but there will be nothing in it.
