Ok one more question, combo boxes

[Fate]

Sorry people!!!

Just one more question, (So much for this Access 2003 Bible!)

With a combo box, I want to allow people to scroll through the different
options, not only by bringing up the drop down list, but by pressing the
Down key, to scroll the entries.

Is this possible? I'm pretty sure it is...I just have no idea how to do it.

Thanks again people!! This is my last question!!! (For now ;-)

Try Alt+Down Arrow.

Thanks for that, I will suggest this to the users...

Is there any way to make it just use the Down Arrow? Because I am sure the
users will have a whinge for having to press Alt + Down ;-)

Thanks again,

Mat

Where the problem comes in is that you use Alt+Down Arrow to open the list
then use the Up and Down arrows to navigate the list. You would have to
determine the status of the list, whether open or closed. This can be done
using the Windows API. Then depending on the status you would have to change
the Down Arrow to an Alt+Down Arrow. I tried playing with this part, but
haven't had any success yet.

To select an item, press Enter and to cancel press Esc.
