Ed,

I finally came up with a solution that is actually pretty simple and thought I'd pass it along.

In the Combobox.KeyPress I put the following
IF nKeyCode=5 OR nKeyCode=24     &&UPARROW or DNARROW
	This.Style=0                                 &&Set Style to Dropdown Combo
	DODEFAULT()
ENDIF

In the Combobox.Valid I put
This.Style=2           &&Set Style to Dropdown List

>So call KEYBOARD two times, one for TAB, next for DNARROW.
