Here's one I've never seen before. I have a combo in VisFox 3.0b which is acting weird. I have a number of combos on a screen which are based a number of joins, conditions etc. To improve loading speed and to delay the list of queries to load the individual combo, I thought I would use the code below. It simply states that if I have a value when I init the code, show it as a value. Once the control gains focus, load the data ready for use and set the rowsource and rowsource type.

Pretty straight forward stuff except that now when I click ona combo it does not drop down correctly every time. It will sometimes show a subset of the entries and an up and down arrow at the top and bottom of the list. It doesn't matter how many entries I have and whether I would normally of a scrollbar at the right it still may appear. The arrows work correctly, but its different... How do you explain this one to a user when you don't know what’s happening yourself...

Any comments, suggestions or hints would be gratefully received.
