Hi Chris.

>> Are you saying that clicking in the list will never move the cursor foward even with a Return 1 in the valid. THis is whats happening. <<

No, that is not what I am saying. When I tested this I used a dropdown combo (style = 0) and put this code in its Valid:

Return 1

It moved focus to the next control in the tab order even when I selected an item from the list using the mouse. Can you post the code you have in the combo's Valid?
