>Hi everyone, I have a table of names and I want it to start searching for the closest name in a listbox as soon as I begin typing a name in a textbox. So if I am looking for BRYAN and I begin with B it will sort right to the B's and than BR's and so on. It should work like the VFP Help Index.

Justin,

The Listbox already has incremental search capabilites. You can adjust the time incremental search waits for the next keystroke with _INCSEEK (DBLCLICK in VFP6 and earlier) System Variable.
