>>If that doesn't work then the only other option I have is the one you will not want to hear :) and that is re-design the form layout to avoid that from happening. Or you could maybe consider changing the dropdown to a fixed list or a dropdown of only 1 row or move the dropdown towards the bottom of the form so that it drops down below the form and not over other controls..... Some design options like that?

I think this sounds a lot like a kludge and suggests to me that a form re-design would probably be a cleaner solution.
