How to approach combo box with by default upper most value focussed

I want to select a value in a long list of the combo box. How to have
this lstarted with the upper most value instaed of the last choosen
value.
(By the way, I approach the box with Me!<ComboName>.Dropdown so with
the mouse cursor on the text, not necissarily on the arrow down.)

Hi Bart,

The way that I would do it is make a number field that increments each
time the value is selected, then order the combo box by that field.

Good Luck

Hi Nick, it's not what I mean. I just wonder how to have the combo
list's upper part visible with the browser-bar on topmost position,
instead of a value somewhere in the middlle selected.

Nick made an attempt to interpret your gibberish. If you translate it
into intelligible English, perhaps he'd have a better chance.

With Me.ComboWTF
.Dropdown
.Value = .ItemData(0)
End With
