    <p>Hiding the ID is the simplest way of accomplishing what you want, but I recognize that you said you don't want to hide the ID field.</p> <p>I think it is possible to do what you want. Basically, on every keypress you will need to reset the RowSource for the combobox to be filtered down to only items that match the users keypress. In my experience, this works best in dropdown menus that you are using for filtering, as opposed to dropdowns used for data entry, especially if you are using a continuous or datasheet form. There are a lot of gotchas and caveats you'll run into when doing this. I can't really recommend attempting this unless you are an experienced VBA programmer. My own implementation uses quite a number of events to make it work including Enter, KeyUp, KeyDown, KeyPress, and AfterUpdate. I also use a timer so that I can accumulate their keypresses and only change the rowsource after some 300ms of no keypresses. I also use ADO with a Disconnected Recordset so that I can filter the recordset without making calls to the database again (in the name of efficiency and "keeping the wire cool").</p> <p>If you want some code, I did post a very basic version of this early in my development of the idea over at UtterAccess. I think it's probably going to be buggy and it might not work properly with you wanting to show the ID field. That is something that I had to make work properly on one of my projects since I originally posted my code.</p> <p><a href="http://www.utteraccess.com/forum/Autocomplete-Autosugges-t1986007.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.utteraccess.com/forum/Autocomplete-Autosugges-t1986007.html</a></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
