>>In VFP6 comboboxes have a DisplayCountt property. Its default value of 0 causes 7 items to be displayed in the drop list portion of the combo. You can set the DisplayCount property to another value to control the number of items seen in the list portion of the combo.

I'm sure it's 4. The next thing M$ needs to add to the combo, IMHO, is dropUP ability to allow combos at the bottom of a form to display their list above the textbox portion.
