Hello Richard,
I have a table of customers
I have a combo box on the heading of a form. the idea is that the combobox will display a list of the customers following my entering of the first letters of the customer name and allow me to scroll down the list to find the required name. when I click the required name the customer record must display in the body of the form.
firstly do you have a lesson on this topic?

I have set the following properties for the form
The record source of the form is the table
there are no events in the events dropdown

I have set up the combobox with the following properties
It is unbound
there is no control source
the row source is the table itself

When i click the combobox it displays the records, but i would like it to sort them alphabetically ( it displays in the natural order)
then when i click the required record it doesnt display in the form
please help --
best regards

fred
