    Autofill on combo box doesn't present all matches - just chooses 1st

    I have a form where I enter several forms for a specific device which is serial numbered. The form starts with the entry of the serial number which I validate against a table with existing serial numbers. I used the combo box feature. When I enter the first character, it assumes the first key that matches and does not display the 20 other keys that has the same first character. I would rather the combo box displays the narrowed results as I type in the box rather than select the first hit.

    That is not something Access supports as far as I know. You could however code a listbox next to your combobox, to display only those matching.

    If your up for it, feel free to ask additional questions here.
