Default Combobox filtering

I have a combobox with a large number of entries representing supplier invoice numbers.

I would like to filter the dropdown list as data is entered into the text box. For example, if the user enters 23 in the text box then only invoices starting with with 23 would show up in the dropdown.

I thought of clearing & repopulating the combobox for each digit as the textbox is entered but I cant work out how to return just the entered digits (without the complete first matched record). In any case, there may be a much simpler and more effective solution.

Hope this makes sense. Running Excel 2010.

Thanks in advance.
