combo dropdown

I have a form with a combo box and when it (combo) gets focus I issue
a .dropdown. Using A2K and SP1 everything works fine and the list
drops down under the control as expected. If I use a PC with SP3 the
dropdown actually pops up over the combo box covering it completely.
Same exact form and source code in both examples. Anyone ever seen
anything like this before?

Sometimes it's just not worth trying to support non-standard behavior.
Comment out your code, and tell your users about the dropdown button
next to the dropdown list, and about the Alt+CurDown keystroke.

I have read the posts on using Sendkeys to dropdown the list in a combo box. However, doesn't that require the combo box to have the focus? My situation is a little different. I have a text box and on the BeforeUpdate of that text box I check a value. If the value > 0, then the text box is OK and the program can continue. If the value = 0 or null, I want a combo box to drop down. For simplicity here are the control names:

Hi, Can anyone tell me how the initial value displayed in Combo Box is determined when a form is opened? I am loading the dropdown from one field ("CategoryName") of a table, with "ORDER BY ". The values in the dropdown are loaded in the correct order, but the initial value is not the first row of the dropdown as I expected. The field "CategoryName" is not the primary key for the table -- the PK is

I have a form with a combo box. It is in the first Tab Stop when the form opens. The dropdown area should be immediately below the combo box as all others on the form, but it isn't. The dropdown list ia about a half inch below the combo box , but as soon as I click the combo box the dropdown list jumps up and attaches itself to the combo box. Very peculiar.

So I have a subform that lists the various items on a particular invoice. First, the user selects a product class from the Class dropdown. This is bound to the Class field in the InvioceLines table. The rowsource for the combobox is: ClassName, ClassID, ClassSort from the Class table, with the bound column set to ClassID.

The code below goes into the dropdown event handler for a standard combo box. It makes the dropdown as wide as the widest text entry. Unfortunately, this combo box is on the right edge of the screen, so if the user has a really wide entry, the dropdown expands off the right edge of the screen. Any suggestions on how to modify the code below to make the dropdown width expand to the left, instead of to the right? Thanks, Randy

Hi, I decided to install Office 2003 Service Pack 3 on my home computer to test (in full knowledge that there may be some issues with it). After installation, I have noticed that with a small database I wrote for home, the combo boxes and listboxes no longer display the bound column. For example, on a form I have a combo box based on a table called 'names'. The two columns in the combo box are ID and Surname. The combo box and list box...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
