It's getting late and my brain is fried. On a db that I created a few years ago, I manage to create a search/look up combo box that you can par type a search of a last name, click on the drop down tab, it would give results starting from the letters you typed in alphabetical order. I cannot replicate this. What is coming up when par typing a search is the first result high lighted, but half way down a long list of last names rather than the first result of the drop down. I've replicated everything I could from the original, but something is amiss.
The Combo is based on a query with sort set to last last name and first name in ascending order plus ID. The main table has the last name and first name indexed for no duplicates plus the primary key. I have replicated exact settings in properties from original. On the original, there are no macros apart from the after update and no vb code related to the combo box. The original was created with the wizard in Access 2003, I'm using 2010, and with my limited experience, used the wizard. I looked aroun trying to find the answer, but I may not be able articulate the exact problem in a meaningful search
Any most obvious remedy would be greatly appreciated.
