Hello
I want to filter list box without text or combo box
e.g when i type S the grantee goes to first s record but if i type one more letter like SAM then it search on first letter instead of going to last record which has grantee SAM .How can i do that

above the listbox add a text box.
as you type the letters, have it filter the listbox.
you use 2 queries:
1 qsList shows all records,
2: qsListFilter looks at the txtbox to filter on whats in it:
select * from table where [grantee] like forms!fMyForm!txtFind & "*"

Private Sub txtFind_Change()
FilterList
End Sub


sub FilterList
if IsNull(txtFind) then
lstBox.rowsource = "qsList"
else
lstBox.rowsource = "qsListFilter"
endif
lstBox.requery
end sub

Select as you type ListBox

Hi All, I have a listbox (lstJobs) on a form (frmJobStatusList) which contains a large list of jobs. Users can double click on the listbox to open a job form which contains details about the job. Currently when the listbox is selected people can type a character which takes them to the first...

However IMO this is a worthless setup. It is more confusing than useful. Using a textbox is way more user friendly and flexible. You can type in "ALI" which finds nothing. Then back up to AL and type ALE. Without the textbox you have no way to clear the filter or backup. Eventually you do not remember what is typed.
