Run-time Error 2118 - You must save the current field before you run the Requery acti

Private Sub cboQuickList_Click()
    . . .
    Forms!fAAA.cboQuickList.Requery
    Forms!fAAA.cboQuickList.Visible = True
    Forms!fAAA.cboQuickList.Dropdown
End Sub

I am clicking the Dropdown list of a combobox. Therefore, it is visible, enabled, and after the click has the focus. The combobox is unbound, and the text portion is still empty, not used. Attempting to set the focus before the requery allows the requery, but then the set focus after the requery fails with "Run-time Error 2110 - Microsoft Access can't move the focus to the control cboQuickList."
Eliminating the second setfocus causes "Run-time Error 2185 - You can't reference a property or method for a control unless the control has the focus." with the .Dropdown statement. "SendKeys {Esc}, True" does various things, but either the errors persist, or the dropdown list does not display.
Stepping through the code is meaningless as the act of stopping the code negates the .Dropdown, and apparently affects the .SetFocus.

I see that you are referencing the cboQuickList control from within the OnClick event of the cboQuickList control. Are you referencing a Combo Box of the same name on a different Form or is this in the same Form?

What exactly are you trying to do with this code?

Bird,

Just a guess as I've been drinking today ...

Private Sub cboQuickList_Click()
    Forms!fAAA.Dirty = False
    Forms!fAAA.cboQuickList.Requery
    Forms!fAAA.cboQuickList.Visible = True
    Forms!fAAA.cboQuickList.Dropdown
End Sub
