So after I click on an item in the list it would move focus to some other control on the form but it would not do it when I am entering the combo box. "Change" event would not work because I need to move the focus even if I select the same value from the list as what was in the box before. Maybe some other event would do it. I would appreciate if you let me know. I still can't make work quite right which has nothing to do with the code I copied. I am just trying to figure out the details of event sequence duiring the click, drop-down list folding and updating the field.
