I have a table with about 50,000 names that are used for multiple selection in a list box and then used to pull out additional contact information, however when selecting the names it can be fairly arduous due to the volume.

Is there a control for an explorer style menu where I can split the list into the alphabetical sections and still use a multiple select ?
 
How are ya DropsIT . . .

Tough call this . . . How about using a combobox set to AutoExpand [blue]to find the names[/blue]. When the name is selected in the combo, the name via code is selected in the listbox (with a subsequent resetting of the combo & focus for the next find)?

The combobox AutoExpand is the key search feature here!
