Question
Hello hope you can help me with that..
i have a small form based on a query, i have one list box of all names in the list and one unbound combo box, what i want to do is that when i type in a letter in the combo box the name in list box that starts with this letter should automatically be selected,
Is that possible?

Yankel,

Selecting on the fly is only possible using:

1) javascript
2) Ajax
3) server side programming after a 'click'
