I think the expression is Happy as a Pig in a Shirt.

I've done that as well and users really like that.  But the F-Lock key was the answer and he was happy as a pig in dirt with that.

Rocky,

Another approach completely, but possibly useful. You could use the OnEnter event to automatically drop the combo down. It's dead simple:

<yourCombo>.DropDown

A while ago a client asked for that behaviour on a form that had about a dozen combo boxes on it. After I had added that code to each combo, I rather liked all the activity. You could press Tab several times and move from control to control, each opening on Enter and closing on the next Tab press.
