I've had a look at the demo, and adapted it thus:

>         
>     }


and then later on in the code:

>     my $clientcombo = $bills_received->get_widget('SelectClient');
>     
>     $clientcombo->set_popdown_strings(@$clientlist);

The code runs, and my combo box gets the values OK, but the GTKEntry 
doesn't do autocompletion O:-)
Sorry. I swear - once I get this working I should be OK to build other 
stuff without the constant stream of questions.
