While this is possible it would be a pretty resource intensive UI to use,
particularly over a network. Have you looked at the AutoExpand feature of a
ComboBox? It does exaclty what you want. As you start typing the list in the
ComboBox jumps to the first entry matching what you have typed so far. In
addition one of the choices in the ComboBox wizard is one that takes you to the
record matching the ComboBox selection. If you used that you would be done in
about 30 seconds.
