Hi,

Could anyone please point me to an example of using Redemption to create a custom Auto-complete function. I have a Public Folder full of Company Contact Items. I have another Public Folder full of Contacts. I want to be able to start typing a company name into a text box bound to the Company field and have it return possibilities based on the items in the company folder.

I've tried several of the Restriction methods in Redemption, but the FL_SUBSTRING simply returns the first item that has the partial search string anywhere in the name not the first letters in the name. I tried FL_PREFIX which returns not items at all and of coarse FL_FULLSTRING isn't what I'm looking for either. Does someone have an example of how to do this?

Thanks,

John

Have you tried it using the contacts as AddressEntry items in an
AddressEntries collection? There's a sample on the Redemption Web site that
does that, it's at
