showing multiple results of field entry

[sprice]

When entering a city name I am trying to be able to show if other cities with the same name (different state) or part of the name) exist when they enter.

I have a master file and a related city file. So, when someone enters Portland, for example, a field / portal would show Portland,OR and Portland,ME. Northport, etc.

Is this the right approach? How could I do this?

You can achieve this efect by using a technique somwtimes called 'look-ahead' typing or 'clearvoyance'

There are example of this technique in the samples forum, amongst others:
