Hi all,
I'm very new at this. I am trying to put together an informational
database where if the user is asked about a specific topic, he or she can go
in and retrieve that topic along with the topic's description (which in some
cases may be very lengthy). My database contains two fields; Topic &
Description (which is currently a memo field) Basically, I would like the
user to be able to just have to type the first few letters of a topic and
have the entire description come up on the screen. Thanks in advance for any
help!

Create a Form based on this table; use the Combo Box Wizard to put a
combo box on the form selecting the topic. Use the wizard option "use
this combo to find a record on the form".
