Is there a way to have the person type in a box and let the posiible matches be viewed and chosen, instead of using a combo.
We have a big table of publishers, and anytime people want to get to a publisher starting wth say "T" using the combo box they have to mouse through all the others. Is there something that works like Microsoft help where as you type in the box it shows alphas below?
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
Unless I'm reading this wrong, I think the combobox should do just that. As long as the Auto Expand property is set to Yes, you should be able to type in "t" and it will go to the first publisher starting with "t". If you type in "th" it will go to Thomas, Thompson etc.
