I've got a combo-box of the drop-down style (not drop-down-list). The first item is "NHPI-Forms". If I type "NHPI-Forms" into the combo-box that string is supposedly not listed in the combo-box. While if I type "Personal" (which is the THIRD item in the list, it IS found. I'm using "FindStringExact" from the combo-box. WHat could be going on?
TIA

Never mind. Shortly after hitting send, the answer hit me. Find string returns an integer. If the string is NOT found, it returns -1. If it IS found, it returns the index to it.
The following worked fine.
Private Sub cbxAcctAcctList_NewText(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cbxAcctAcctList.TextChanged
If cbxAcctAcctList.FindStringExact(cbxAcctAcctList.Te xt) >= 0 Then
BtnAcctRmv.Enabled = True
btnAcctMod.Enabled = True
btnAcctAdd.Enabled = False
Else
BtnAcctRmv.Enabled = False

I tried it and it returned 0, which is correct. So your if statement
will return False because 0 is considered False.
