I have a DB Lookup combo box on a form based on a small 
lookup table with two columns:

VRSystem  VRDescription

 A        Alignment
 B        Brakes
 C        Cooling
 E        Electrical
 F        Fuel
 I        Inspections
 K        Transmission
 L        Labor
 M        Motor/Drive train
 O        Other Miscellaneous
 P        Preventive Maintenance
 Q        LOF
 S        Suspension
 T        Tires
 W        Towing
 X        Exhaust

The combo box displays both columns, in order by the VRSystem 
Code - as shown above.

The user would like the Q LOF row to be the default when the 
combo box opens.

I can auto open the box using the LISTOPEN property.

I can make Q LOF the default by adding a SORT column to the 
table and sorting so that Q LOF appears first.

BUT - is there a way to KEEP the order above and using PROPERTY 
make the combo box open with focus on this row in the MIDDLE 
of the list?

I see such a property under DB User Defined List Box in RDOCS:

PROPERTY <Component ID> SELECT 'value'

"Can be used to highlight/select the specified item. 
(WRITEONLY, no support for GETPROPERTY).

Example:

PROPERTY <ListBoxComponentID> SELECT 6
Will highlight/select item number 6 in ListBox"

But I don't see anything like this either in DB Lookup Combo Box 
or DB User Defined Combo Box.  The user wants a combo box here.

Ideas? Or is  this just the way it is for now?
