Default Lookup cross Drop down/scroll box


Heya mates,
How are we all? Im new here i was hopeing someone might be able to
help me with a problem im trying to work past. Its for an invoice to
try make my job easier at work. I have a table that is basically a
stock list of everything we have, and am simply running a VLOOKUP at
the moment. Type in the product code, and the description and price
gets filled in automattically. Thats fine, but its a bit fiddely if you
dont know the exact code, trying to get it right. What i was trying to
do, is something like a auto-filtering drop down, that still uses the
vlookup, So if you were to start typing a word, or the first letters of
a product for example, it would bringup the drop down box, and start
filtering out what your typing in. You start typing in PRO, and the
drop down appears and shows you all the products starting with PRO,
continue typing, and more things get filtered out. Then I was hoping to
simply click the correct item from the drop down and it still uses the
stock list to fill in the rest, code, price etc.

Is anyone aware of way this can be done? or if not, another solution
that would help along the same lines?

Thanks in advance mates.

- ScottyM.
