quick selection menu combo box
Ludwig Willems

How can I create a quick selection menu in a combo box "see attachment" so that the selection continues to search as a display when typing. This attachment is from a drawing package that was apparently also made in Access, but is protected and cannot access the structure and code....

Do you mean being able to type in a value and it autocompleting?

To be clear, I did not create the attachment, I want to recreate it in my database of catalog cabinets. are here  videos of how we can create that selection list

I meant in your db not the one you shared.
Is it the list box on the left or the combo on the right?

So have you tried a simple form with a combo box bound to a table/query and tried to type in a known value?

if I type text that is in the list I get the result, but if I continue typing then the text just continues regardless of whether it is not in the list, text should then become gray if at the moment the text cannot be found . I have set up a routine to catch if the text is not in the list and add it if necessary.

What now follows is my next question: in the first appendix you have a list box on the left with titles on which all tables are hanging, each with many cabinets in it. If you click on one of the titles on the left, the combo box on the right becomes active with the necessary list of cabinet modules to choose from. Now how do I create this listbox with the titles of the tables, which ensures that the correct combobox is active on the right side of the combobox list.

Richard, yep, I'm already starting with that. Also check out the Search seminar and it should work out. Thanks :)
