>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.

Hi Keith,

It isn't an assumption. It fires (but GotFocus doesn't) after the list has been dropped down and returned. One gotcha with DropDown, if the user uses the down or up arrow keys to change the value, it doesn't fire.
