Mark,
As I said that statement might be interpreted in 2 different ways :
"cannot be set to true (.T.)"
1) You cannot do it
2) You might do it but no effect
I actually utilize that and would be unpleased if accepted as a bug.

>Thanks for all the PRB references in the KB. Even though the behaviour is documented, it is still a bug, IMO, because the behaviour is not even consistent. In my example code, right click on each combo. The first shows the ReadOnly property as .F., the second shows the ReadOnly property to be .T., yet both can be changed.

>>I think this is not a bug but a documented behaviour :
>>"For combo box controls, the ReadOnly property cannot be set to true (.T.) when the Style property is set to 2 – Drop-down List."
>>While this statement might be interpreted in a different way I think ReadOnly applies to 'text' entry.
>>PS: Behaviour was same in older versions.
