Well I guess Michelle was correct in her assumption then, that is perfect, even if it is the same picked value the when fires again, now I just have to figure out an easy method to STOP the when from firing on ENTRY, and only after a selection has been made, MAYBE a flag set on the DOWNCLICK.

THANKS ALL!!!

>The DropDown event fires before the combo box list drops down, and (surprise) When fires after the selection has been made. It doesn't appears that the DownClick event ever fires.
