U know - sometimes - Customers ask for the Craziest SHIT!

Right???

What you describe sounds a bit like one of the controls in VFP that has

an Incremental Search!

U could do something kinda Tricky - like have a Text Box - where the

letters are Entered - and, after the 1st letter is entered - you make

that OTHER Control appear under the Text box - the control that DOES

have the Incremental Search - And kinda "feed" char's from the Text box

into the other control - and keep updating it - and in that way you MAY

be able to simulate a Control that is Similar to the Google Search thing!

Anything to make a Customer happy!!!
