I have a combo box with 8 values near the bottom of a form. I just don't like the way it looks when it drops down outside the reservation. (Picky, picky.) Can I force it up with a little bit of third grade code?
I really appreciate the help I get on this site. Thanks very much.

Burns my thrusters too. I have never seen code for this however 1) you could "morph" your combo to a listbox, or 2) if you set the "Auto Center" property of the form to no, and positioned the form lower on your screen while in a "dirty" design view, it will always return to that position. If it is low enough, the combo has to go up instead of down. This wouldn't stop a user from moving the form and getting your unwanted result but...it's an option! Gord
