      nil,
      I have seen this message in at least 3 newsgroups.

      microsoft.publi c.dotnet.framew ork.adonet
      microsoft.publi c.dotnet.genera l
      microsoft.publi c.dotnet.langua ges.vb

      If you want to post a message to multiple groups, please cross-post them
      instead of multi-posting them. This means you post it to all three at the
      same time. When you do this, any response in one group is displayed in the
      other groups. That way, if you get an answer, people know they can spend
      their time helping somebody else.

      Thanks,
      Robin S.

          MS Access has this functionality built in.

          it is called a 'combobox'

          Vb6 and VB.net don't support this functionality; sorry

              You say you can only use JavaScript? this is a VB .NET group. You
              might be better off posting in a JavaScript group.
              Even so... This sort of thing is possible in compiled VB .NET
              applications. You get the data that you want from the database, use it
              as the DataSource for the combo box. There's also a property you have
              to set which controls the auto-complete method (there's a few, can't
              recall them all).
