Hi Omran.
>> I would like to be able to select the data by typing in the textbox
of the combo box & if I type in a partial value, have the cursor
go to the first occurrance of the data. <<

It seems that what you want is a quicken style quick-fill combo. Tamar Granor had a step-by-step article along with all the class code for doing this in FPA September 1998. If you don't have the magazine, you can see about getting this issue at www.Advisor.com
