David,

A little more on lookup combo boxes, I don't think the table needs to be the 
table the form is based on. I've done many variable forms and variable lookup 
combo boxes where you choose the table to lookup from.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Autofill a form field

R:Base X, newest version.  Looking for a way to autofill a field in a form with 
a value from an existing table based in characters typed in.  For example.  If 
we have a table that holds city names, I'd like to autofill a field for city in 
a form based on what is being typed, with the more characters being typed 
increasing the accuracy of the fill choice.  This value then needs to be saved 
when the row of data specific to a the job being entered is saved.  I've played 
with a DB Lookup List View and this acts similar to what I'm hoping for.  
However you have to type very quickly to keep it from switching the lookup back 
to the first letter of the street name.  I also don't need a long list, just a 
few choices as more characters are entered and narrow down the options to the 
correct choice.  
Any help is appreciated.  
Thanks,
David Fowler
