Do you want to cut down the list of choices available based on input or jump the highlight to the nearest match. I'd be shocked if you can't download a 3rd party activeX with this functionality.
But essesntially you trap the keys
with a keydown handler and extract matches from an external list of items and then repopulate the combo list items or you iterate through the items in the combolist for the first match and set the selected? property.
