Actually, rather than a ComboBox, since no ComboBox functionality is being used, it'd make more sense to use a label or textbox control, and simply trap the Click() to fire the form. You can pass the current position of the control firing the 'combo form' and use that to position the form so it appears to 'drop down' when activated.
