David;

I happen to agree with you. However, I think there is no “right answer”. Some users will see a co-worker at work on a form and say, “Why does he/she have additional selections on that form and I do not”? Then you have to explain disabled/enabled or just be mean and say, “Read the Needs Analysis and contract”! :)

>>Bug: Get a combo, then make about 1/2 its elements disabled. Then run it, and put the mouse cursor right on the arrow of the combo and click. Then move the mouse over the dropped down elements, and use the wheel. You should be able to select any element, whether it's enabled or disabled, with a little practice, anyway.

>>Fix: Put NODEFAULT in the combo Mousewheel event.
