I know that option rikab! but i have to show the names only stating with the particular letter in the input box......

with the help of macros... whether we can do that?

hi,

first create a variable (say x) in settings->variable overview

now go to documentproperties->triggers->variable triggers

in variable triggers select this variable x and give OnInput add action.give the action as "select in field". the field as Name in your case

and search string as =y&'*'

this should work

thanks

Hi Bharathi,

i have attached an application regarding your query. please check if it is fine with you. In QV 9.00 there is a new option called Search object. In order to use it you just need to add the corresponding field name into the search object and you will get the desired result.

Best Regards

No it is not working as per his requirement. When you type A in the input box it should show those names which starts with A but in yours it shows all the names where A is available. It is not considering the position.
