If it's a combobox, you may want to limit the number of items displayed with DisplayCount. AFAIK, there is no way of telling the combobox how to display the list (up or down).

>How do I control how comboboxes open? On my development machine running 1280x1024 the boxes throw up or drop down based on their placement on the forms. However, on my workstations running compiled code at 800x600 the comboboxes want to throw up (and off the screen) or drop down near the bottom of the forms without predictability and differently from the development version.
