That's a nifty workaround, but I'd still like to be able to use the combo box directly. There's nothing inherent in the underlying Windows control that should make the combo box so slow. Also, I make a lot of use of the Show Lines property to separate the columns (gives a really great effect) and that's not available in the variable combo box. Anyway, sounds like help is on the way in 7.5 if not earlier. . . -- Larry
