There are sample classes for seaching textboxes available. IN my work I use a number of different approaches depending on the application. One is drill down lists or combo's, where the user makes a choice in the 1st and then the 2nd is populated depending on the choice made and then the 2nd is chosen and the third is populated ... > >You can gie the user a page in a pageframe to specify what they are after and click a search button and then run a select to get ionly those records they want and show them in a combo or list on a different page. > >There are literally so many different ways to accomplish this task that it is hard to "give you some code". We can give you some ideas though. :-) To be more specific about the type of interface I'm lookin for let us consider Tasmanian Traders example. In this case they use a combobox to allow the user to enter products into the grid Order Entry form. In VFP 3.0 I filled the product list with a 1000 items and the combo entry method became useless ( it was tooo... slow ) in VFP 5.0 I haven't tried it. Now in such a case what should we use that allows the user to quickly enter the products? Sonali
