You are right. Thank for pointing that out.<br />
It is working. The problem was I tied the primary key and name together to display so when the users were typing a name it didn't show up becuase it started with number then name.<br />
Thanks.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a combo box which looks up the authorname table.<br />
This combo box is pretty long and I am trying to make it easy for users to find this name from the combo box.<br />
<br />
I am looking for a functionality like as you type, possible names wil show up.<br />
<br />
Is this doable using the combo box? What control do I need to use?<br />
<br />
I need to find a name and save it.

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.

Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
