In one of my programs i have made a text box for user to search for the required data from my database.
I want that whenever user is typing sth; alphabetical starting list from the letter typed by user should come side-by-side.
Is there any provision for that in VB 6.0?

All right; for example if you go to some medical shop; whatever name you tell to that shopkeeper he'll type it in his software; if at all he has.,then as he is typing the name; sisd by side one index comes which gets sorted by whatevere alphabet he is typing.

I understand-you want to make something like google desktop search?!
If so,you've got to place some code in your searchtextbox_change event that searches the database for the entered characters of the search keyword.every time the user enters a new character in the search textbox the change event is fired.accordingly search is performed and the results may be displayed in a listbox or something..
