Autofill a combo box
I realise that combo boxes can be used to "autofill" a value depending on
the first few characters typed, but is it possible to have a combo box (or a list box I guess) progressively limit the selections, ie. if I have a table with the following values Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Moms Birthday Make Money and in a combo box with its source as the table, what I want is that if I type "M", then I get a dropdown box with Moms Birthday Monday Make Money in it. If I then type "o" (so I have "Mo" in the combo) then the list changes to just Moms Birthday Monday I would then be able to click on either value to select it, or type the next letter to make the selection, so that "Mom" would give me "Moms Birthday", but "Mon" would give me "Monday" Access 2000... Thanks folk. Rob Lepper |
