>There was an article in Advisor a while back that showed how to make an autofill Combo class. I think its the perfect control for mouseless entry. If you know the code for the field, you just press the 1st couple letters then hit tab to move on. If you don't, you can hit the space bar to select from the list.

Hi Perry,

Did you use that AutoFill combo class? I tried it and found a few problems with it not working quite the way I wanted it to or expected it to. I modified it a bit and now it's not too bad. Actually "modified" is a poor choice of words ... more like kludged it. At the time, I was still a little green with VFP and combos are tricky anyway. All I knew was that it wasn't working quite how I wanted and I started plugging code in every which way until it did. I think I probably have a lot of extraneous stuff in that class right now, but I'm afraid to touch it because at least it works. < g >
