Quite
- what the OP needs is a 'Virtual Listbox' getting data from a
buffered disk file

- personally I would use an assisted binary chop driven by a search
key built in the key down event of a Usercontrol containing the VLB

For those things it is also rather nice to simulate a Combo

Pity the OP is not using VB Classic, I'm fond of picking from huge
lists (with zilch data in RAM ... well 32kb max) and could easily cut
out an example.
