Hi Tim,

That is because toolbar buttons don't get the focus. Since the toolbar button doesn't get the focus, the drop down never loses the focus and remains dropped down waiting for the appropriate user input. In addition, since the drop down never lost the focus, it's value is not written to its ControlSource and will not be saved by a Tableupdate(). My framework has a method named WriteBuffer that is called by all form methods that are called by a toolbar. It essentially determines which control on the form has the focus and calls it's SetFocus method. This cause the control to write its value to its ControlSource and reset itself.

When I do this the drop down list stays "open". The only way to get rid of it is to click on another place on the form.
