September 5, 200322 yr I was looking for a way to do the following like Access does: I go to filed NAME for example. I start typing the "J" from Jones. The first name that has a J as the first letter shows. I continue to type the "o" and the first Jo shows. Then "n" and the first name with Jon shows. I can hit enter to accept the current name or continue entering letters. Can this be done easily in FM Pro? Mike
