I was referring to the behavior using only the cursor keys. Yes, it behaves as if the combo is positioned at the end of the list.

I want the user to be able to enter the data with keystrokes as much as possible (without using the mouse). When entering the combo box, some of them will allow the user to scroll through the list using the down arrow key, while a couple will only scroll using the up arrow key.

Any ideas why?

Thanks,
Neil
