This is an extract from that thread:
"...
Hi Richie,
dblextendedmatching in matchentry and dbcdropdownlist in style gives me more or less what I want. Could
be better though

I know how to populate the combo when working with dao. For a lot of reasons I used this time a dataenvironment
and unfortunately I don't see how to access the indexes .... when using this.

Thanks

Hi Richie,
I tried changing style to dbdropdownlist and matchentry to dbextendmatching.I want that user should be able to type in the editable portion of the combo.With dbdropdownlist,editable portion is not available.
So I can't use this.

Thankx for your help...

I have another question posted regarding Activex document. Please help me that, if possible

Activex document...i have to tell you something:
IMHO, Microsoft will no longer support this type of app in the near future. It is just my opinion.
