ComboBox unusual behaviour....

[WiseMonkey]

I have a number of forms in my application most of which contain a ComboBox.
Normally a user can type the first letter or two of a value in the drop down
to jump to that item. However, that is not working anymore in any of the
ComboBoxes. Interestingly if I create a new form and add a ComboBox it works
fine. Then eventually that ComboBox won't work properly either.


What's going on? I'm getting very frustrated.

Is there any way I can code the ComboBox to work properly every time?

Set the AutoExpand property of the combobox to Yes.

Thanks Piet.

I should have said initially that this property is set to yes for each combo
Box already.

It is almost a virus like behaviour.

The combo boxes respond normally for a while and then start to play up again.
