I have using one of ComboBox in UserForm and load the values from code behine function called while Userform Iniated. I need that ComboBox should filter and show as what user typed.

Eg:

Values are "OUTLET, SALES, SUPPLIER, SALES CATEGORY, PURCHASE, SALES MODE"
User type as "SA".. list items should displays "SALES, SALES CATEGORY, SALES MODE"
If values are empty, ComboBox should display with all items as beginning.

Coding as Follows:
VBA Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
    CategoryListLoad
End Sub

Sub CategoryListLoad()
    On Error Resume Next
    ddlCategoryName.Clear
    ddlCategoryName.AddItem ("OUTLET")
    ddlCategoryName.AddItem ("SAPPLIER")
    ddlCategoryName.AddItem ("SALES CATEGORY")
    ddlCategoryName.AddItem ("PAYMENT MODE")
    ddlCategoryName.AddItem ("EMPLOYEES")
    ddlCategoryName.AddItem ("SERVICE PROVIDERS")
    ddlCategoryName.AddItem ("GENERAL EXPENSES")
    ddlCategoryName.AddItem ("MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES")
    ddlCategoryName.AddItem ("VEHICLE TYPE")
    ddlCategoryName.AddItem "SELECT YOUR CATEGORY", 0
    ddlCategoryName.ListIndex = 0
    ddlCategoryName.SetFocus
End Sub

Private Sub ddlCategoryName_Change()
'Serach Filter function here.

End Sub

This is OK.
Is that all?
Maybe you calling procedure "Subcategory List Load()" after last line of this code or some event activate this procedure.
Go to the debugger and step by step see when the list duplicated.
Thanks, It's working fine, I have found where it's issue.

I haven't use control name as "TextBox1". It's working fine once change the control name.

Excel Facts

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
You were probably confused by this sentence...
"Clear combobox and fill it with items from collection that meet search parameter from text box".
My mistake.
I was mean "search parameter from combo text box".
But finaly we have find solution. That is great.
