I'm in a combo-box using incremental search and I want to incrementally search in strings which have embedded spaces.

For instance:
"Great West - Ohio"
I want to be able to enter:
"g"
"r"
"e"
"a"
"t"
" "
"w"
"e"
"s"
"t"
etc., etc., etc.

The problem I'm having is when the spacebar is hit, it's acting as a selector...in terminates the incremental search. I would like to allow the use of the space bar. How do I do that? I tried the keypress event and either I'm using it wrong or????

Thanks,
Rick
