First, thank you Jim C. and Tom O. and Jim S. for answering my question on the incremental search. (and to Karl for adding the humor!)

I did check out the microsoft knowledge base article #Q136479 it was exactly what I needed. (I just need to get started now, no more excuses!)

It mentioned the combo box as well for doing incremental search. What is the limit table size that is feasible for a combo box?
I guess 100,000 records would be too much??
