The best list box in the whole world.

One of the best uses of a list box that I have seen can be found If you go to
the menu bar of Internet Explorer and click Help / Contents and index, under
the index tab. Microsoft uses this in all of its programs, yet I can't figure
out how to make one in Access. Although it would take up some real estate on
a form it is alot easier to use than a combobox with a drop down list. I like
being able to see the list update as I type. I can see without reaching for
the mouse what my options are. Anyone out there know what this list box is
called, or how to make one?

Thanks

Harold

The ADH (Access Developer's Handbook) has a sample of how to type into a
textbox and find a value in a listbox. It's under the heading "Emulating a
Permanently Open Combo Box" page 413 in the Access 2000 version. I know it
was in earlier versions of the book, but I don't know about the XP. This
should give you a start.
