I have several Drop-down listboxes on my form. Fast typing users can type a character or two in a field to select the desired item, tab to the next field and type another character or two to select an item in that field. The problemm is that the characters typed in the first field are carried over to the next field. If a user types "JO" on the first field, then tab, then "NE" on the second field, he ends up with "JOHN" in the first field and "JONES" on the second field, instead of "NELSON". Currently the only solution is for the user to pause between fields.

I have tried different values of _INCSEEK, but that doesn't work. If I set _INCSEEK too low then incremental search does not work for slow typers.

Has anyone found a way to clear the incremental search string when moving between listboxes?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
