Combo box problems

I am using a combo box to enter zip codes. The problem I am having is that
when typing the first number in the zip, Access finds the first record, fills
the box, and doesn't leave the rest of the numbers highlighted like normal
auto-complete cells. For example, say i have a list of zips 53395, 54765,
and 55736. When I type "5", "53395" shows up and i need to backspace to
insert the number I want. What I'm looking for is to type "5" and to have
the "3395" show up but remain highlighted so I can still type in the values.
Thanks in advance,

I thought I would bump this message up since I can't find an answer anywere
and I have the same question. I am pretty sure this has something to do with
auto complete with Win XP. My combo box use to work the way I wanted on Win
2k until I upgraded to Win XP. Now using the same database, auto complete
behaves differently. Is there any way to force auto complete to behave as it
did in Win2k?

Thanks,

Matt
