In xl2k you can sort your list "ascending" and at each change in the first
letter of your list, insert a cell and place the appropriate letter. In your
dropdown cell first just enter the first letter and then click the dropdown
arrow and you are at the beginning of that part of your list.

Does that help?

I creasted a dropdown list with over 8000 items. The list works well but I
cannot search it by selecting an item then typing a letter eg 'm' should
allow me to see items begining with m etc. I overcame the problem by
creating an Entry Form and the list box works fine on that but I am curious
as to why this happened.
