Matching any characters

Asked by davcos in Access Forms

Tags: Microsoft, Access, 2007

I'm not even sure how to ask this question...  When I start typing in a combo box to look up a record in my form, the box is populated from left to right as I type in the values.  How can I change this so that any group of characters are matched in the string.  For example if I'm looking for "City of Denver", I have to start with "City" or there will be no matches in the box.  I would like to just be able to type "Denver" and have all those records populate the combo box.

I'm sure this question has been ask many times, but I just can't find it, or don't know the correct terminology to find it.
