Autocomplete type find

Bob
I am creating a page that does a lookup on a contacts table in my database.
What is the best way to have the user type in part of the name and then
display those that match? An autocomplete database bound text box would be
ideal but thats probably not available so I would like to know if anyone has
suggestions on the next best thing.

Thanks.

You should probably investigate using the Atlas Autocomplete control:
