My example was not a for locating an item in the listbox. My example was for
only allowing the user to select an item in the combobox and not type an
item of their own. Can't help you with the other as I have not implemented
such an example.

Eric,
Thanks. That is a temporary solution but maybe what I was wanting isn't
possible. What I want is for the user to be able to type each letter of the
word and have the word appear in the combobox as they type. For instance:
The ComboBox contains the following items:
Baldwin
Brooks
Caflish
College Court
Crawford
Edwards
Ravine
...
Now what I want is for the user to be able to start typing, for instance
"Baldwin" and since it is the first item in the "B's" it will appear but if
they type "Br", "Brooks" shows up.
The example you gave me brings up "Ravine" if "Br" is typed.
So anyway, is it at all possible to do what I want?
Jonathan
