>Just wanted you to know how helpful this thread was. I have spent the morning trying to figure out why 2 comboboxes in a grid on a pageframe quit dropping down. I use VFP 8.0 sp1. By some infinite VFP wisdom the style property changed during editing code. After reading this thread, I reset the property to 2 and now they work. I have had a similar issue with the readonly state of the grid but it all of a sudden started working properly. It is so stressful when changing code breaks something or fixes itself. of all the threads I had read from Marcia, Sergio, and others, this is the only one that mentioned the Style property.

Glad it helped - I know I was glad when I (twice... make that multiple times upon a time) found a thread which mentioned that. About the third time around I learned what .Style means in a combo (and that it's completely unrelated to fashion :).

>>>You are right about this being such a wonderful resource!

>>>So I have figured out the combobox's main characteristics. But now I am trying to get the IncrementalSearch property (it's set to .T.) to do what its name implies. When I pop up the combobox list, typing anything immediately closes the list and I see the character I typed in the collapsed combobox (what is the correct terminology for the collapsed combobox object?).
>>
>>Try to set combo.style=2 (dropdown list). That limits the values to only those listed, and incremental search should work.
