Arnaud, maybe I'm missing something... in my experience, combo boxes already have built in typeahead why are you adding it?
Also, why loop, reducing the length of the entered data, when the data entered by the user is not valid (not in the combo's list) to try to get an acceptable entered item? Is this not going to potentially create lots of problems? ex: combo contains 5 names, all start with the letter A. User enters : Abraham (there is no abraham in the list, and no name with first 2 characters Ab) so your code reduces the user entry to "A@" This results in the selection of the name Aaron, which is populated into the combo, AND into the underlying var(s)/field(s). Since this code is run during On Data Change, the user has already tabbed out of the combo, there is no warning that the user entry was not found, and if they are not paying attention - these are users after all ;) - a now incorrect entry has been made.
