Typing a Character Value Utilizing a Lookup

I am using the following programming on element entry to retrieve data from an external database:

VENDOR NAME = @XUserselect("VENDORS.DB", "VENDOR NAME")      

The list is very lengthy.  Is it possible to incorporate some programming such that the user can type a value (similar to combo box feature) to try to locate the item more quickly in the list ?

Maybe I shouldn't be using this particular X feature ?

Thanks,

Louis

Thanks for the thread. I remember looking at it when it was posted, but didn't clue in until I needed this feature.

Thanks,

Louis
