Combo Box to go up not down

[woohahee]

Okay, basically instead of my combo box dropping down (on a form), I would like to know how you can get it to scroll up.

Is this possible?

I'm afraid your stuck with 'Drop' down list with Access.

However, why not give this some thought:

1. Make a normal text box for your data entry.
2. Make a list box (not drop down) for your selections.
3. Make your new list box invisible and position it above your text box.
4. When your text box has the focus show the list box and give it the focus.
4. Program your form so that selecting something on your list box changes the text box contents and hides the list box again.

Its so crazy it just might work!!!


HTH
