Hi,
I have a list in column A and ComboBox1 is in Userform1

When a user begins to type in the combobox I would like a list of 3 options to dropdown filtered on what they're typing. If the user continues to type and it's not in the list I would like what the user is typing to be added to the list.

So, if i have a list of names in column A and the user types 'STE' the dropdown list would show Stephen, Steven and Steve. I would also like it if the user typed 'EVE' it would show Eve, StEVEn, StEVE etc so the search would search the whole word, not just the beginning.

I have tried a few different options in the combobox but I can't get it to work as above. Can anyone help?
 

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
How are you populating the combobox?
