Hey,

I did what you suggested. I was not clear enough in my question. sorry about that.how do i make a dblookupcombobox filter as i type in relevant data? like a internet search engine that completes the word that you are typing when it searches the database and/or gives you a dropdown list with alternate options that you can select.

Thanx again.
