I have a combo box field which displays 4 columns. Is it possible to set type ahead on the second column even though the first column is the one that appears first?

Thanks!

No. You can do one of two things though depending on which is the bound column. It sounds like the first column is the "key" field and is probably the bound column. In this case just "hide" the first column if you don't really care to see it by changing the Column widths property so that the first column width is zero.

ex. Column Widths 0";1";0.5"

In the above case, the first column is hidden, the second column is 1" wide and the third column is a half inch wide.

If you don't want to hide the first column, you need to change the query to reorder the columns so that the second column becomes the first column. Don't forget to change the bound column property to the new number or your combo box will stop working.
