I am trying to do the following.

I have a list of names in sheet1 column b - b2:B500

I have a user form that I would like to do the following

the user can enter any part of a name into a text box and the list bo
with the names the user can choose will only have those that contai
what he just entered.

for example

a user is trying to find a customers name. The current list box the
can choose from has all names for 500 customers. To make it simpl
there will be a text box that allows them to type in any part of th
customers name and then it will repopulate the list box with th
resulting values of the search term. match case is false....

Thanks for any help...

Jos

Just a typo
Additem s

should be

ListBox1.AddItem s

I tested it with that correction and it worked fine for me. (lightly
tested).

I like what the code does but you have to type in the whole name for it
to find matching entries.

Is there anyway that it can do this

if you type in say (joh) in the text field and it finds all the
following because they contain joh in part of the word

john smith
tom johnson
john davis
johan smith

Thanks for any help...
