Find / Search on a Form

When searching on a form, I would like all the entries to be listed in a drop downbox so that as I type in the number I am presented with correct entry without having to type in all the numbers.

Thanks

RE: Find / Search on a Form

Dear James

Thank you for attending Access 2007 Intermediate course!! I hope you enjoyed the course and benefited from it.

Am I right in thinking that you want to choose an entry from a drop down list and depending on the entry the data changes in your form?

please refer to the following link that provides the answer to this:

if you question was more about Autocomplete in the combo box then please refer this link:

I hope this has answered your query.

If this has answered your query then I would request you to please mark the question as resolved!! If not and you have a specific question related to this then please post it as a new question and we should be able to provide you the solution for it!!

Kindest Regards

Access tip:

Hiding Multiple Table columns

If you want to hide non-adjacent Access table columns. In Datasheet view, open the table that contains the columns you want to hide.

On the Format menu, click Unhide Columns.
In the Unhide Columns dialog box, clear the check box next to the name of each column you want to hide.
Click Close.

This method makes having to use the Hide Columns command repeatedly unnecessary
