>I'm using VFP 6.0, SP3; - How can you change the way a combo-box reads your keystrokes and tries to pick the item from the list assigned to it.

>EXAMPLE:
>Combo-Box with the following 5 array items:
>Anderson
>Campbell
>McAllister
>McCann
>McCloud

>If you type "mccl" fast, the combo-box displays McCloud.
>If you type "mc" fast, the combo-box display McAllister and then if you type "c" again, you get Campbell rather than have the second "c" added to the "mc" already typed and display McCann, and then type an "l" and have it display McCloud.

>Is there an easy fix for this, or is it a function that can't be changed. I like the feature the way it is, but my clients don't.

The 'reaction speed' depends on _DBLCLICK value, so you may even give your users some setting option to adjust in run-time (if it's really important for them).
