I try again: when the user must to write many text using DBLookUpComboBox or a DBGrid would be very usefull that the program complete automatically the entire text with the most similar founded in the table asociated with these data controls. For example, the user write "a" and the program complete with aPPLE (suposse the other options are LEMON, ORANGE and PINAPPLE), or the user write "p" and the program complete with pINAPPLE. I hope that now my question is clear. If you can help me again I will thank you. << Ok, you need to Pad your Index or field that you are using. Easiest to Right Pad. This is cheap and dirty, and I use it for some of my programs. This is the pseudo code, but it is extremely close to the original code. while Edit1 is changing (you can check this off on the Edit Field) Edit1Change { AnsiString Buf1; Buf1=Edit1 // string you are inputting for automatic completion. while (Buf1.Length()<(length of the index field))Buf1=Buf1+" "; //Pad to the right. Table1->SetKey(); Table1->Fieldbyname("Indexfield")->Text=Buf1; Table1->GotoNearest(); (From here, you can do a direct compare and see if the data is all there). if Table1->FieldByName("Indexfield")!=Buf1 then "Pop Window" No more matches! you ran out of matches. } Back to top pcerdaz Guest Posted: Mon Jan 19, 2004 9:28 pm    Post subject: Re: Automatic text search on a Lookup field of a DBGrid "Dwayne" <myfrienddr (AT) yahoo (DOT) com> wrote: Quote: Hello pcerdaz, How can I make an automatic text search on a Lookup field of a DBGrid, for the most identical text between the different atributes previously created on the Lookup Table?
