OK. I think I finally figured out what you were saying (whew!)...
As from mine and Karen's previous post, the items in a listbox, combobox,
etc, are al Zero based, so to highlight the first item in the list, your
property command would be:
PROPERTY marketid makeclick 0
Now a couple of things. The only way this is not working for you, is if
your ComponentID is invalid, which you should get an error message in that
event.
Further, once the proerty command is sorted out correctly, in a combobox,
the value of item ZERO is going to show in the combobox even prior to
dropdown and show as highlighted after the dropdown is selected.

OK Mike, Let me reword it. I'd like the top of the list visible and not
the
last item. As it is, I have to scroll up to see the top of the list.

You say this like you know in advance what the selection is going to be.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Variable Combo Box
I know I've done this and I just can't make this work. I've got a
variable
combo box on a form and I want it to open to the first choice in the list
even if there a more items than will appear in the drop down. For
example,
my drop down displays 10 items and there are 15 in the list. Right now
the
last choice is highlighted and I want it to be the first when I drop down
the list. I've tried PROPERTY marketid makeclick 1 & PROPERTY marketid
makeclick '1' with no change.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Paul Buckley
