Find data in a combo box

[TheHarleygirl2005]

I have a form that contains two combo boxes with two columns each (name and EIN) The Ein is bound to another field in the form. The problem is that there are over 300 names to scroll through in the combo box. I have them sorted alphabetically but it is still time consuming to scroll through 300 names to find the right one. Is there a way to make it so i can start typing the name and it will find that record in the combo box?

It should do that automatically. What happens when you try to type in the combo field?

I can only type the first letter. For example if I'm trying to find someone with the name of Lee I can type the L and it takes me to the first name with the letter L but when I type the e, it takes me to the first name with the letter E

That's not the normal behavior! Normally it would do just as you need. My guess would be that the Combobox Control has become corrupt. Also, although we usually think of Forms, and even entire Databases, when we speak of corruption, Controls, such as Command Buttons and Comboboxes, can and do become corrupted, and seem particularly susceptible to this during app development. The test/cure for this is short and simple...delete and then re-create the Control.

OK, I will try that and see if it works. Thanks!
