Advanced combo box

I am not sure you can do what I want to do but here goes, I have a
client database, I have a field for company, first name and last name.
What I would like is a combo box I could start type in say A and the
box would return the company values and the last name values that start
with A.

Can this be done, can you get me started?

thanks

Set the Combo Box AutoExpand property to Yes.

Hi

This can be done. You will have to change the OnChange event for the
combobox to SELECT wildcard from the table. This can be rather resource
intensive.

It will be better to have a textbox and a button to update a listbox.
