I've noticed that when I tab to a combo box control, I cannot scroll
thru the list (row source is a table) without selecting the arrow
first. How do you set it so you can scroll thru the list instead of
clicking on the arrow?

On the subject of combo boxes...is there a way to allow a user to use the
scroll bar when a combo box is dropped down? (Not use the arrows to move but
clicking on the bar itself, holding the mouse down and moving it). You don't
seem to be able to use it unless you first manually move to the last record
in the combo box but that sort of defeats the use of it. (I'm assuming the
combobox doesn't read all the records until you scroll down or something).

And one more thing

I have a combo box, say full of names for example, and I move to a value in
code based on search criteria. Is there any way to get the combo box to
display the current (matched) value at the top of the list in the box
instead of the bottom so the user can see the next values in the list?
