I don't know it this is relevant, but I created a custom container class with both a text box and a combo box for input. The text box had the focus. (The combo box was invisible and not enabled.) If the user entered a value not in the list, the combo box would appear with the closest match. I decided not to allow people to add values on the fly, as I found that the data entry people would in their haste just add any old thing. The system administrators kept the lists up to date with new data, like customers, etc. Mike
