combo box active selection

[ftook]

i have a combo box selecting customer, then have 4 controls showing combobox.column(1) to combobox.column(4), the contents of these control change afterupdate, is there any way i can get them the controls to update if i just FLOAT over each combo data line, ie not press down-arrow.

I have not tried it, but if you use a listview instead of a list box it has an itemmousehover event.

There is a little bit of ovherhead using listviews, but there are some faqs on this site on how to work with them.

So if the user takes their cursor and trolls up and down 6 or 8 or 10 items in the list, you want Access to have to load 6 or 8 or 10 sets of data in the various controls? Why not simply show all the fields you want the user to see in the combobox?

the user has to see 4 different elements of data, to much to show width wise in combo-box, thx for your suggestion.
