>Dave,
>I have found that by putting the _dblclick = 3 in the interactivechange event of the second combo instead of the gotfocus, both combo's then function normally, or atleast as I wish them to. It works well with this form anyway, not sure if it would be considered proper coding or not though.

Yeah. Use another event. I was gonna try that next.

If you do a search for _dblclick in the message file you'll find a couple of honchos who recommend setting/resetting in got/lostfocus. I tend to respect these guys, so it makes me worry that it didn't work for you and me because we are comitting some other form of combo abuse that interacts with the _dblclick setting.

IOW ... fixing the _dblclick doesn't necessarily undo the evil that may still lurk in the heart of your combo, just waiting to mess up your data in some subtle way.
