Dropdown ComboBox Problem....

[manners]

Hi all,
New here and looking for some help,grateful for any help I receive.

Keeping it simple,I have a dropdown combobox withe a checkbox underneath.
So you check the checkbox,then begin typing in the combobox.
Whatever you type in the combobox,that pulls data from a DB and populates a table underneath.

But the problem is - as soon as you start typing in the combobox,it autocompletes,as in if i type in "F" it will,for example,by itself presume that you are going to type "fish" although there may be many others that start with "f"....

I need it let me finish typing before I select what one I want from the dropdown,and then select the data and populate the table....

any help is greatly appreciated,I'm really stuck =(

thanks
