I'm no expert on this either. Try to change the themes property for the screen or for the combo, and see if it helps.

>>>I just noticed that my Combobox's that worked perfectly in VFP 7 are sometimes a little flakey in VFP 9 SP 2. Perhaps someone can help me with this. What happens is when scrolling through a list ocasionally all items do not appear (just blank space) until I move through the list with the mouse and at that point they do appear - one by one depending on where the mouse is.
