I suspect you're trying to make a combobox work like a 'google'
combobox
does. Normally, continually pressing the first character of any list
item causes the combobox to 'cycle' through all the list items that
begin with that character. If the list is 'unique' then you'd get the
list item with a single keystroke.

I'd expect that to duplicate that behavior with VBA it would result in
a
serious performance hit to continuously 'filter' the list items one
keystroke at a time. It's an interesting concept, though, and I might
be able to test ways to accomplish it, ..time permitting!

I tested many solutions, but found a quick an dirty solution: I use a
textbox to enter the search string (=name), I search for that string
in the address book (Excel column) and add matches to a separate
listbox. It works! With 500 names, fast enough. If you find a more
sofisticated way, pls let me know.
