Default Auto Complete a select from a data validation list

I am using a list of 5,000 items stored on a separate worksheet in the same
work book for data validation of the items being selected on my order form.
The data validation feature seems to be working ok, when you select the
down-arrow, the list appears. However, with 5,000 potential selections,
scrolling to your choice is too time consuming. Can I make this list work
more like a combo box, so the user can time the first few letters, and the
list will search for matching items?

Thanks so much
Lele
