Hi Dave,
Yeah they both work fine if you remove the _dblclick adjustments. The result is unacceptable to my client "can't type that fast", who can?. I have found that whichever combo gets focus first is the one that works correctly. I can't believe we are the only one's having this problem. Having 2 combos on the same form can't be that uncommon. Tabbing out and back into the problem combo tells me something is getting cleared somewhere. If I can figure out what, then reset it in the lost foucs of my next control, a textbox in my case, may fix the problem. Will let you know. If anyone else knows whats going on please jump in and enlighten us.
