Are you still monitoring this thread, David? I have a solution for

Hi David,

you might like to have a look through this current thread:

http://groups.google.com/group/micro...isc/browse_frm...

This is also concerned with partial lookups, so you might be able to
get some tips from it, although it is related to numbers rather than
text strings.

Hope this helps.
