combo box with large no. of values

553 512MB
Having a combobox wiith large no. of values doesn't look very good.

Is there a way for selecting values from different columns in multi-column combo box?

Or can someone suggest a better solution to it. I have around 100 values to show in combo box

thanks

Thanks missinglinq but that wasn't helpful

Allen is talking about loading records into the combo only after the user has typed the first three or four characters; whereas my combo box will have constant values in it all the time.

hmmm .. dont think there are other things we can no with Access's limited combo box??
