Hi, I have a combobox in workbook A linked to Workbook B, Workbook B has 5000
names so it's dificult to find the name using the combobox because of the combobox lenght, I want to be able to put some letters of the name so when those letters matches exactly with the name, appears in black the missing part of the name (like excells autofill but betwen workbooks). Any suggestions??? Also: I'm from Mexico but I'll travel to LA on july and I want to take a VB course and/or certification, Do you know somewhere where I can take this course??? |

Using a combobox with the property Match Entry set to complete. If the list
is sorted than when you start typing the selection will move to the first entry in the list beginning with what you type. You can continue to type or use the up/down arrows to move the selection. Something similar happens if you use a listbox. Except you can set the height on the list box to show several rows from the list and navigate more easily. Again - the key is to use a sorted list fill range. -- steveB Remove "AYN" from email to respond "filo666" wrote in message ...
