Does anyone have a way to mimic the automatic filling in of a text box a la IE5 as the user types in a previously visited web page. I don't want to use a combo because it seems you have to type very fast to get it to find exact matxhes as you type. I have got about half way there but the code doesn't work when I try and type a space...

(The user is searching for an airline...)
(text1 has a format of 'KT')
text1.interactivechange
------
thisform.caption=allt(str(len(this.value)))
lnCurLen=len(this.value)

oldsetex=set("exact")
set exact off
if seek(this.value,'Airlines','Airline')
lcfa=allt(airlines.airline)
this.value=left(this.value,lnCurLen)+RTRIM(substr(lcfa,lnCurLen+1,32))
this.selstart=lnCurLen
this.sellength=len(this.value)-lnCurLen
endif
set exact &oldsetex
------

Any help much appreciated.
