>I have seen this type of behaviour with the combobox, listbox and grid when it related to a cursor / table. The cause, I believe, is the record pointer the control believes it should be on, no longer exist and it appears blank. I have set the pointer to the first record, refreshed the control, requeried, then refreshed the control again to get this behaviour to stop.

>HTH,

hmmmmm...well I tried that and still seem to have the same behavoir, I still have to hit the down arrow 2 times. Maybe I can put the code that's in the downarrow in a new method and just run it two times??
I've had problems like this in the past and actualy ended up putting a textbox on top of the combobox to get it to do what I wanted. It just seems insane to do something like that though.
