Harry,

There is no control of the size of the drop dowmn list. An open combo shows 7 items including the one selected. This is a windows standard, I think, and there is no control over it unless you want to create your own combo as a class by using a textbox and a list and writing a bunch of code to make it look and function like a combo.
