    Combo Box search not working

    I have followed this video: http://datapigtechnologies.com/flash...tomfilter.html . It worked good. So, we entered data. Now we have about 400 data entries and I noticed a problem. When I type 23 it wants to bring up 230 and I can't get it to allow me to type in only 23. I have checked my data. The numbers are the record ID and are the primary key. So, what will happen is when I get to th 1000's of entries then I will only be able to bring up those records and not the three digit entries. Does this make sense. I don't know how Access can make this mistake. I have double checked my code with the video and everything is the same. And it seems that this is the only way it works. If you can help please do. I will check back to see if no one can comprehend.

    Thanks,
    Lowell

    Research the "Like" Operator, It returns everything Like 23, or 02,230,30 other wise you maybe left with empty or null results.
