&lt;p&gt;You could use the &amp;quot;begins with&amp;quot; comparison to possibly have them enter a partial in one field which would display items that began with the partial string in a list box.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>type-ahead data connection lookup</title><link>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/25845.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 23 Jan 2008 00:35:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:25845</guid><dc:creator>bkaneweb</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/25845.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&amp;PostID=25845</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have a form that autofills customer name, address, customer ID when the user types in the customer phone number through an external access database. However, I was wondering whether it would be possible to have a type-ahead type box so when the user starts typing the customer name the box will auto-suggest customer names and automatically fill in the rest of the customer info. I tried to use the smart combo listbox, but I couldn&amp;#39;t find a download place for it. Also, I don&amp;#39;t think it would work because the field would need to use an external data connection. I would like this to somehow work like google suggest or something similar. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks for any help you could give me. I appreciate anything!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
