>>>>>I have a form where I have a ComboBox objects that displays two columns from a table. The first is relatively short and the second is relatively long. To get the dropdown to not be scrolled off the left of the screen, I have set the column widths to 65,550. This allows the entire first column to display, but the right side of the second column is not shown.

>>>Yes I did resolve the problem. I simply moved the left variable to the left of the screen on the dropdown event and on the valid event, I reset it back to the original setting.
>>Alan,
>>Just curious, have you tested moving the form?
>>IE grab the title bar and drag the left edge of the form past the left edge of the screen and the same on the right?

>I'm still having one problem with the resize process. On the drop down event, I set the left to 0 and set the length to give me full width. On the valid event, I set both back to their original values. The problem I am having is that if a user drops the dropdown and then click somewhere else on the form rather than making a selection, the dropdown closes up but the left and width do not get reset. I have put the reset logic on the lostfocus event also, and then whenever another object gets selected the resize takes place, but it looks a little strange. It seems that there should be some solution, I just am not seeing it.
Alan,
You are experiencing a bug that has existed since VFP5 and is one of the reasons that I jumped into this thread. I was hoping that you might have found a solution. The specific bug that I think you are experiencing is that if the user clicks on a part of the form that cannot getfocus, the lostfocus of the combobox is not fired.
