If Dale and Jim haven't hit the right solutions (there advice was excellent) remember that the computer processes your keystrokes in the Incremental Search as if they were 'double clicks' with the mouse. If your double-click speed is set too fast in Windows you won't be able to type fast enough for the incremental search to work. If each keystroke starts another search ('0' goes to the first '0' value, then typing '1' goes to 1.... instead of 01....) this is the problem.

Change the _dblclick speed in the GotFocus() and return it to normal in the LostFocus().
