I have a combo box with rowsource

Select cust_name from customers order by cust_name.

When i type text in the combo-box , the list portion of the combo-box automatically scrolls to display the matching values if a name starts with the text i have typed.

For eg. if i type "C" the list portion will be like


Carmen
Cathy
Charles
Cindy
and so on

But if i type "Ce" , since no name starts with "Ce" in my table the list portion displays the starting records

Aby
Amy
Arnold
Arvind

Is it possible (using any API/function/trick etc.) that , the list portion shows the closest matching records so user will find it easy to select if he has made a spelling mistake earlier ?

For eg. with "Ce" the list should display though no names start with "Ce"

This would make the use of combo-boxes much more effective in case of name selection.
