Hi am doing my project using Vb 6.0 with ms-access..
am using combo box to select the item by the user..

if the user selecting the item in the combo box without using mouse.
My problem is,
While they are typing the first letter of the item,automatically the corresponding items which starts by that letter should be displayed under the combo box.similarly for the second ,third letters n so on....so that the user can select the items easily...
