Default AutoComplete Entry in Text Box or Drop Down List

I am creating a report in Excel which i am linking to a database containing
part numbers and descriptions. My question is how can i program a text box
or drop down list to "auto complete" a part number after typing the first
three characters of a part number. Or, better yet is there a way i can
populate a drop down list of part numbers that begin with the first three
typed characters of the part number. Any suggestions or comments are greatly
appreciated, thanks.
