Jerry, there is a fundamental difference between the 'Listbox' control and the 'ComboBox' control. The ListBox MUST be sized to show all the items you wish to see at one time (as many lines as you wish). THe ComboBox control shows only one line until you click on it, and then drops down to display more lines. ComboBox can have its STYLE property set to either DropDown LIST where users are required to accept an entry from the list, or to DropDown COMBO which allows users to enter their own data (subject to certain rules).
