What you can do, though, is type the first 1 or 2 letters or numbers of the aircraft you're looking for and the list will instantly snap to that part of the alphabet. Try that, and you might find the length of the list isn't so much of an issue.

It's a painful first step from legacy VB to .Net, but let me assure you it's a bright shiny world with grassy meadows when you get there (after the expected transitional pain) . Don't put it off mate, just allocate the time you have available and do it!!

VB 2010 .Net is a whole other world, VB5 and 6 are merely chains around your ankles.
