Actually , they were already set that way, must be the default. But I
had added code to correct an annoying "feature" that typing the first
letter and hitting Enter fired a Change event, but left the Value
property as it was on the previous selection. Which I had "fixed" with:
cbCompany.Value = cbCompany.ItemData(cbCompany.ListIndex)
except that takes over and ends selection after one keystroke. Moving
that line to After Update solves the problem (which I had been reluctant
to do, since I wasn't "updating" anything -- the box is unbound).
Thanks for the help!
