    Populate a ComboBox

    Trying to change a textbox over to a combobox,thetextbox does a data search to find a name. I hope
    a combobox would populate with more of the same names then narrow down to one. So if there was
    six Jims it would show all until last name is typed in. Here is the code for the textbox all I changed was the textbox to combobox. Not
    sure how to populate the comboBox? Attached is a workbook of what I would like to do.

    Re: Populate a ComboBox

    Does anyone know if this is possible, or should I give up on this idea?

    Re: Populate a ComboBox

    going to mark thread solved,just don't think it can be done. Trying to look up
    two different fields with same combobox seems impossible. I will try and do it with two boxes, a
    combobox,textbox.
    Thanks Z
