Default Listbox search question

I would like to create a Userform that contains an input box
(ie textbox) and a listbox or combobox. The listbox will
contain over 500 strings of employee names. The user
should be able to easily scroll through the listbox and find
any name they are looking for.

However, to make things even easier for the user, I thought
I would let the user type in a name inside the textbox. So,
if a user begins by typing "Pet", I want the listbox to be
reduced so it only shows names such as "Peterson",
"Petrowski", "Petti-Jones", etc.... The contents of the listbox
should grow or shrink depending on what is typed in the
textbox.

What is a good way to implement this? I know how to add
items to a listbox, but I'm not sure how to effectively make
the contents of the listbox depend on the contents of the
search string in the textbox.

Thanks for your help.
