>>I could have sworn that I saw a message here that showed a way to make a combobox readonly in order to avoid having to disable it, which results in the contents being too pale to be read easily. I have not been able to find the right combination of words to locate it, though. Does anyone remember that thread or know how to do this? Thanks.

Eric,
Actually, I did remember that article and have it sitting on my desk to remind me to sit down and work on building some controls. Maybe it's about time I did that. I was thinking that, shortly after you told me about that article the last time I was struggling with this, someone had posted some sort of backdoor method of making combo boxes readonly. Perhaps I just dreamed it. Thanks, again.
