can make things disappear by whatever.visible = .f.. did not exactly understand your situation, but you can listbox.visible = .f. in combo.gotfocus. then listbox.visible = .t.. in lostfocus. in the form.activate you may need something like if _screen.activeform.activecontrol.name = "comboboxname" listbox.visible = .f.. because the combo will losefocus (and listbox.visible = .t.) when you go to another application.

this may not be a very good solution. will think some more on it.

best of luck - brenda
