>>>I created a Combobox that displays (when closed) multiple columns in the Display portion. The problem with it is that I had to introduce a kludge in the code to get it to display the multiple columns display when the user selects a item from the list.

Thanks for the reply. I tried this approach, but came up with a slightly better idea. Along with the multiple columns, I placed a textboxes over the top portion to represent the multiple columns in the display. Then when the user selects a item, the textboxes get populated with the selection of the corresponding columns. This gave the impression of the multiple columns in the display section. I plan to post it for others when I work out the last of any gotchas; the display section tends to display the first column contents while the drop-down is extended. It is a small annoyance, but the control otherwise works as desired.
