George, 145 would be one record ID. Normally in the drop down they would scroll to the record they wanted. With 20,000+ records it isn't practical. So they would just like to enter the record ID and have a name display. It only allows for 1 character to be entered at a time in the drop down box... if I enter a 1 (145), I need to click after the one to get the 4, then click again in the box to get the 5.
