Have you considered the code in post #6 of Emulate the Google search bar?

'Combine a TextBox, a ListBox, a Command button, a source array
'of values, and the Filter() function to create a filtering,
'auto-completing pseudo combo box.
'
'Adjust ZOrder and Visible to make the ListBox "drop and undrop"
'as we go.  Use a Marlett font "u" as a drop-arrow in the
'Command button.
'
'Add a non-enterable prefix character (vbBack here) to make the
'filtering match only to the right of the filter string.  Without
'this list entries with the substring anywhere within them will
'match.
