    Problem with Combo box on Form

    I have a Combo Box on a Form which I use to create new records. If I click the down arrow at the side the list of possible values appears. If I type the first letter(s) of the value I want the first match is displayed.



    What I want to happen is for the list to drop down automatically starting at the point where those first letters appear in the list as soon as I start typing. I'm sure it must be easy, but I just can't see how to do it.

    Help please.
