Stephen,

The system variable _DBLCLICK controls the length of time the user has between typing letters in a search.

Since it also affects double clicking speed, you should set it in gotfocus() and set it back to previous value in lostfocus() of the combobox.

>Since VFP 3.0 I have always had problems with the native VFP combo Box. Depending on the speed of the computer the user had, and how fast they would type I sometimes would get different results. Like for instance if I had a combo box based on a states library and on machine 1 I type "NY" the value of the combo box would sometimes go to "NY" sometime go to the first State that started with "Y". I was just wondering if Microsoft has addressed this problem since VFP 3.0 or if anyone has a work around for this.
