Okay.  Raul.  Have a question?  Do you hit enter on the combo box then do alt 
down arrow,  or  just do  alt down arrow?  Maybe my brain is fried but I wasn't 
real clear on that.  Thanks.

Subject: Re: we 7.01 and IE 7 moving through combo boxes

Hello. Just so everyone is clear, the alt-down arrow trick to expand combo 
boxes is not a Window-Eyes trick. This is something which happens whether WE is 
running or not. On most combo boxes these days, simply choosing the first 
clicked on choice of the box, instantly refreshes the page with the choice. If 
you need to see the rest of them unfortunately with speech or Braille, this is 
not very convenient. So using alt-down arrow opens the combo box without 
changing the focus of the selected item, allowing you to hear or feel what the 
choice is.

Hope this helps.
