[AccessD] Simulate AutoFilter

Mark,

By "slipping" I mean a combobox, which can be moved onto/showed upon one of
the 40 textboxes - the one, which gets focus.

Should I've better called it "jumping" or even "vagabond" combobox? :)

Shamil,

Sounds very interesting...but what do you mean by "slipping"?  Does it move?

Thanks,
