>>Hi All

>>I have been working on a combo class that I want to do some processing based on what the user is typing. I put some code in the InteractiveChange method and was having problems with the first character typed. So I decided to go to the least common denominator and tested the base class.

>>I added a textbox and a combo to a form. In the combo I added this code:

>>When I run the form I get this:

>>combo.display textbox.value
>>a
>>ab ab
>>abc abc

>>It seems that the first character is not in displayvalue until the second character is typed. This only happens the first time the combo is used. Any ideas?

Len

I see the same. Something about the boundto that fixes the problem. I din't even have a controlsource set in my test.

Thanks for the help.
