I'd like the user to be able to start typing a city name and the text part of the combo box to show up with the first city name that matches what has been typed so far - this is incremental search, right? The incremental search property is set to .T.

I would really consider using a grid instead of a combobox for that many items. Comboboxes have always behaves unpredictably with more than a hundred or two items in their rowsource.

Mike probably pegged it though, for why your incremental search wasn't working...
