what do you mean, when you type in a letter the list will open up. i know there is a property in the property box (on your left) for the combo box for when you type in a letter what ever name you have in the combo box that's where it will begin it search (but it won't open up) i believe it under the "Style" event

if this isn't what your talking about then post your question with a little more detail so someone else can answer you better

focus on combo box with out cliking it with mouse

Hi,

I think In such cases u can use listbox instead of a combo box....

HI,

In ComboBox's GotFocus event write this code:
(It will automatically drop-down)

[code=vb]
Private Sub Combo1_GotFocus ()
SendKeys "%{DOWN}"
End Sub
[/code]

Hello

Or U can use

[code=vb]
Private Sub Combo1_GotFocus ()
SendKeys "{F4}"
End Sub
[/code]
