OK, here goes:
1. Remove the ORDER BY clause from the lookup query's SQL (for inc.
searching to work, the dataset has to be able to set its own ordering)
2. Click on the lookup set's query object on the form to bring up the
Fields editor.
3. Go to the Ordering tab and do as follows:
a) In the OrderingItems panel, type NOME=cid_nome;cid_nome
b) In the OrderingLinks panel, type cid_nome=1
c) In the SearchingLinks panel, type cid_nome=cid_nome
4. Click Apply and OK to close the Fields Editor.
5. In the Object Inspector, go to the OrderingItem property and change the
value 0 to 1.
6. Then go to the datasource for the lookup dataset and set its AllowFocus
property to True (to enable the control to be tabbed into)
7. Now run it. You will find now that incremental searching is
enabled. Type 'P' on Salvador and the value instantly changes to 'Paris'.
