Coding for Autocomplete

D

Darrin

Can anyone share code for autocomplete in a text box? In
other words, you begin typing and similar words appear in
the text box.

Thanks

Normally, you would use a combobox for this.
The AutoExpand feature is on by default.

Otherwise, how would the program know what words you might be trying to
complete?

Hi Darrin,

This is typically done with a combo box, with the AutoExpand property set to
true. The combo must have a RowSource so that it knows which column of which
table to use for matching.
