type ahead lookups?

[J__]

Hi,

i'd like to be able to click in a contact field (which maybe is a lookup) and start typing a name and then have it find matchess and display them in the drop down.

then click on the one i want.

is there an option in fm for doing this?

thanks,

j__

any other tips on how to do this? or get started before I buy the resource kit?

I want a drop down list, which i can type into and as I type it locates similar matches.

thanks,

J__
