Jim, I just tried that, that is, pushing down on the wheel first, then scrolling, but it's a no-go.

Thanks, it was worth a try, :)

>>A user of one system I've written, who is quite quick, observed that the mousewheel on her Microsoft mouse would work in a Grid, but does not work in a drop-down combo box. How can we make the mousehweel operational in the drop-down combobox?

>My general observation is that the wheel will work *IF* the wheel is pushed down first.
