Hi Ann Marie,
Form mode is a edit field, I believe.
Now, how is that going to work in selecting a combobox?
I am trying myself to learn how to deal with combo boxes, since they're a
couple main one and everybody has a combobox in their website.
So, insert + 5 will toggle forms mode on/off?
Thanks,
Jorge

Maybe try Insert+F5 for forms?
