John,

The system variable _DBLCLICK controls how long fox will wait for another keystroke before starting a new search string. You can create a combobx class, give it new properties name DblClick and OldDblClick, then isn its GotFocus put;

THIS.OlDblClick = _DBLCLICK
_DBLCLICK = THIS.DblClick

Then in the lostfocus put

_DBLCLICK = THIS.OldDblClick

Give the DblClick property a default vlaue of anything you like in the class designers property sheet. Then use that combo class for your combos. In any fomr you can change the DblClcik property to be whatever you want it ot be. It represents the numer of seconds that fox will wait for another keystroke.
