Hmmm ... you may be right David, but I remember running into a problem trying that but I don't remember what it was.

>>Have a combobox in a grid. When the combobox is open, want the down/up arrow to work normal. When the combox is closed, want the down/up arrow to move to the next/previous row. Client is complaining that the down/up arrow is making it too easy to change the contents, and they are use to using the arrows to navigate in the grids.

>>Realize that I can capture the up (5) and down (24) arrows in the combox.keypress, but need to know if the combobox is open or closed. Tried to put something in the Upclick and downclick, but it never got executed.
