>>>I could not find this info in Help on Format, though I remember, I saw it there. I have a field Status in a table, which could be either A or I (Active/Inactive).

I think you can make the Combo about as small as you can a TextBox. You can also easily have three options: "I", "A" (or whatever the options were), and " ".

As to laziness, I believe inheritance can help you foster your laziness. At least, if you have similar requirements frequently.
