Hi Len.

I've duplicated your test above & see the same effect in V6 SP5.

No idea on why the first char is skipped - but if the BoundTo property is set to .T., then it works as expected.

Now that is very interesting! That must be why I have never seen the problem. BoundTo is set to true in my base combo class because it makes the most sense to set it to true by default < s >. Thanks for sharing that.
