function down and up key ?

[eatraas]

Hi,

when in a form and in a dropdown field the up and down key moves you to another field.
Is it possible to change that function to move around in the values of the current selected dropdown ?

Regards

...well

you could:

Private Sub YourDropdown_GotFocus()
Me.YourDropdown.Dropdown
End Sub

but that might give you other problems (test)... otherwise you are talking setting a global parametre and having code on key up/down/press like if chr(something) then and all that. It seems a bit of a hassle!~)

Hi Severin,

thanks but i think i have to explain some more.
Once the dropdown is selected and a value is selected the user wants to use the down arrow key to select the following value in the list of the same dropdown.

Is that possible.
