Thanks for the Suggestion George, I tried it and it does work, but I wanted something more like the Combobox. I'm using it to display a list of Users for a Security system, so I want to be able to easily drop the list and select the User to setup security for, and ideally I need the operator to see what user they're working on at all times.

If you or anyone else has any other suggestions I'd appreciate it, alternatively I'll have to start looking at taking the whole toolbar over to a VFP one, (groan).

Unlike VFP's controls, the Toolbar is it's own window, and, unfortunately, when the Form containing it is at the top of the Z-order, the Toolbar, not the Form, is the reference that _SCREEN.ActiveForm holds. How about using ButtonMenus and manipulating them dynamically in place of the combo. I haven't tried it, but I would think that you could
