Alano,
1. I'm assuming you aren't asking how to build a HELP file, but want to know how to type in a name and see the matching ones in your app. For the search, you'll need to check each character as you enter it, using the InteractiveChange event. Put code into the InteractiveChange event which searches your lookup table (probably with SEEK on an indexed field) and refreshes the list/grid/ popup that you're using to show the data. Both the INGRID and the QUICKFILL programs in the Files section will help you. Click on the File Cabinet, and the files are in the CLASSES section.

2. You can let the user choose the printer using GETPRINTER() when they call your print routines, or (if you know the name of the printer) you can simply tell the program which one to use. This only works when you can match the code to the user's hardware, but in your case it might be fine. I do this for a client which has one printer just for pre-printed forms. It's not a program which will be distributed out of the client's office.

HTH
