If I want to use the combo box idea to search through my customer file, I would need to break down the file into 500 record segments. Then each segment could have a combo box. Is there any practical way to do this? If the method is reasonable, I would like to also adopt it for searching by Order number, and Company name too.
The idea of creating blocks of records based on the first letter has occurred to me, which really starts to complicate the form.
Maybe there is programmatic way to type several characters, and then be presented with a combo box?
Any thoughts? I would imagine back in dBase V's day, this problem was solved in some elegant way.
