I'm looking for a location that can show me how to do this.
I have two text fields, one is a name. The other is a zip. I'm searching businesses that might have more then one office in a state and wanted to use the zip to further narrow down the result. I want to use a Jquery auto complete that is also querying the Mysql DB with 3000 rows.
I'm not a big developer. Are there any URLS that someone could point me to or someone I could pay to do this for me over a few hours for the right person?
Thanks,

Oh, I think the other answers are great, but I also want to recommend Better Autocomplete, a customizable jQuery plugin (still under active development) that I am currently maintaining.

This example may help point you in the right direction. Like others have suggested, it uses the jquery ui autocomplete:
Using jQuery Autocomplete to Populate Another Autocomplete
Or, if that's overkill, try this one:

I'm sure you could find a developer to do it for you, but this isn't the place to look.
MySQL allows you to do full text search on databases (3,000 lines is a small db, so efficiency definitely won't be a problem). What is your server technology? That'll make a big difference upon how you actually set the whole thing up.
As far as the autocomplete in jQuery, jQueryUI has an excellent autocomplete widget.
