>>I have some dropdowns near the bottom of forms. When activated, they drop down below the Win 95 task bar so that user can't see all of them, otherwise they fit. Is there a way to tell the combo to drop up instead?

I thought of that, but we're talking 50 or so users here, and I'm not allowed to monkey with their settings...the only idea I've come up with so far is to add one more dummy row to the combo so that it hits the window border and reverses direction to a 'drop up', but I'm still wondering if there's a way to change direction by code?
