Selecting a name from a list

B

Bob Paup

I have a form that builds a record in a table. One of the entries is a name
from another table. When I enter one letter in this name box it selects the
first name that starts with this letter from the table. When I enter the
same letter it picks the second name that starts with this letter from the
table and so on. I want to enter the the second letter and third letter and
so on until I get to the right name instead. How do I get this to happen?
Is there a property of this box that controls this?

This is the behavior of a Listbox control. The behavior that you want is
provided by a Combo Box control.
