How do I set up my drop down list to go to name when I start typin
 
I have two columns that are linked to lists of names in one column and lists
of services in second column. They are sorted alphabetically. I know I can
scroll down the drop down list to find the name I want but is there a way
that I can just start typing and it will find that name or service?

Not using a DV dropdown.

Have you thought about using a Combobox instead?

With this method you have "Autocomplete" and resizing to show more items and you
can change the font size.
