I use inGrid now almost exclusively. I place it on one or more columns of a grid. When the user clicks on a column ingrid, through its properties selects the appropriate index and starts incrementally searching on that columns index. Be aware though if you use it on a form using the default data session and an already open table it can move the tables default index. Also, I modified it and added a incremental search speed property. I then normally put 5 in the property. The GotFocus method then sets the _DBLCLICK to 5 allowing the user time to type their search and go back and forward if needed. ie type NANCY oops typo backspace to NANC and add the E to NANCE. The LostFocus method then sets _DBLCLICK back to its default of .5 I love this component and so do my users. I came to the conclusion that ComboBoxes were only good for 20 or so choices. I now use a button, a fast find form, and a disabled txtBox for the results. This allows me to track things like hidden IDs with out messing up the users view of the data.

Good luck
