Akhan,
With the VFP combo baseclass, you won't be able to do this without some effort, or you can look in downloads and search for "Incremental"...you will find a few classes there.
As the baseclass stands, pressing "M" will pull up the first Mike, and hitting "M" again will pull up the second Mike (set style to Dropdown List).
