Combo Problem

[drunkenneo]

Hi All,

This is bit lengthy to explain i hope i can make understand.

I have a combo box whose row source is order_number, when i am typin a number it gives me the any full order id started with the keyboard input number and when i enter next digit it takes value after the full order ID.

For eg: Order Ids are:
554
4544
4855
5123

if i need 4855, when i press 4 the combo populates to 4544 and when i press 8 it places it 45448 which is bit annoying, Please anybody can help?

I am using A2000, but the combo box as you describe it works for me. I enter 4 and the combo box displays 4544, with 544 hi-lighted. Then I enter 8 and 4855 is displayed with 55 hi-lighted.

Do you have any code on any of the events - maybe the on change event? Or maybe a format?

There is a property "Auto Expand" (Data tab) that could be set to NO. But that would stop the auto "find" in the row source.

You could try:
- Delete the combo box.
- Save and close the form
- Compact and Repair.
- Open the form
- Re-create the combo box.
