Michael, It sounds kind of like in your playing with the settings, WALKMENU got turned off. Did you check at the R> by typing SHOW WALKMENU?
WALKMENUINTERVAL only changes the amount of time for the buffer to clear. So a setting of 10ms seems impossibly fast for a typist. The buffer would clear almost immediately. A setting of 1000ms should be satisfactory. If I remember correctly, all of the controls that Razzak described for you need to load the values before they can be used. So that could be why you mentioned that your form loaded faster with only 100 rows. So you really need to make sure that you have some sort of index or primary key in your search. So if you are using a foreign table with 26,000 rows you may want to send it to a temporary table, then build indexes on LastName, FirstName in the temporary table. Hopes this gives you some places to look. Jan -----Original Message----- From: "Michael J.

Hi Jan, The abberant behavior you are describing seems to happen no matter how long or short I set the WalkMenuInterval. Typing very fast or slow makes no difference. Setting the value to 10ms vs 5000ms did not make a difference. Strangely, it worked at first, then as soon as I changed from the default value of 1500 ms, it stopped working the way it should. Changing the value back to 1500ms did not fix it. Any ideas? Mike -------------- Original message from "jan johansen" <[email protected]>: -------------- Michael, It appears I read your post incorrectly. WALKMENU should work fine in any control to do what you wish. One thing to keep in mind is that the default keystroke setting for WALKMENU is 3 seconds. So if your user is slow the buffer will clear. So if the user types S and waits, then presses M the S is no longer valid. You can change this with the PROPERTY command. I was thinking of the LookupComboBox looking control in Quickbooks. You can type in the control and it will walk to any instance of your keystrokes regardless of where they are in the name. Jan
