>>I have another problem working with a combo box. My combo box have 510 items in the drop down list. When I select item number 509 the combo box refreshed. I go back and select another item in the list, I get a error. The items from 1-508 is ok and any items above 509 is ok too. It just the item number 509. I don't know if you run across anything like this before. If you have and do have a work around that would be great. Thanks Jim.

I would use a textbox with a look up feature. The user types what they know and then you popoup a form to narrow the options down based on what they typed.

Hi! Could you throw some more light on a lookup textbox. Is it possible
to download an example form some were? Further in a combo box one can
program a search feature - something like as in tastrade sample application.
The user could then select an entry without leaving the keyboard ?
