Pete,
Taking your advice, I changed the combo boxes to option drop down controls (ignore the name of cmbGender - it's still a option box now). The following no longer works. Please advise on how to fix these: set the label of btn "cmbGender" to "Choose" set the label of btn "optMonth" to "Month" set the label of btn "optDay" to "Day" set the label of btn "optYear" to "Year" I appreciate it.

I wrote the following code: on keydown show field "MonthDropDown" sort items of field "MonthDropDown" by keydown letter end keydown It's wrong. I know it's wrong. How do I make it right? (I want the drop down list to end up on the letter of what the user pressed on keydown, so if they pressed 'd' or 'D' I want "December" to become highlighted. Thanks everyone.
