No that's an 'On Type' or 'On Click' event in a flash object and if you've done that sort of development and I have, if your list gets to be a couple thousand or more refreshing that list after every character type drives users nuts! The reason is, say they want Green, so they type 'G' and then there is a system hesitation as the list refresh, 'R' again the hesitation , and so on and the bigger the list the longer the pause. It actually works better to let the user type their filter info, then when they are done, refresh the list.
As far as RBase you have enter,exit, and right click events on an edit box that you can use to filter your list. Go ahead and look at the sample I sent you and play with it maybe you want to take it and create an 'on exit' eep to fresh that list. The sample is based off of a Razzak sample and I use something similar to find contacts, inventory items, sales, and any other record lists that are huge and a user needs to find one particular record. So far I've had really positive feedback on it because it allows the user to filter not just on one list field like last name but they get to pick what field they wish to filter and whether the filter data is found in the beginning of the field, equals the field, or contained somewhere in the field. Also on that same look up form you can add a button to 'add new contact'. Have a Fabulous Day! Rachael M.
