Steve,

I'd suggest using a binary search routine. If you create one based on an ordered list, for example, you'll save yourself a lot of trouble. If the list is ordered, you don't need to create an index to do a SEEK. Further, if regardless of the underlying control source, and give the fact that a binary search is the fastest method available, you won't take a performance hit from initiating a new search each time the user hits a key.
