    Problem with combo propdown

    I have a table of paths used in my app which the user can access via a combo on the main form. When the down arrow is clicked the drop down 'panel' of entries is far too wide. How can I shorten this to the width of the control itself? See http://preview.tinyurl.com/y6cvjrv Thanks Coldan
