Lookup Wizard Search
By default, the Lookup Wizard only searches for values that start with the text I type in the field where I applied Lookup Wizard. But I want to search for any part of the list by typing in the field. For example, if I type in "Arab" in the field, it should return all the values in the list that contain the letters "Saudi Arabia", "United Arab Emirates" etc.. Can anyone help in this..

What you need is called a "Contains" search. It can't be implement in a standard Access combo box. The Lookup Wizard only sets up combo boxes, so you'll need to go about this differently.
