? Removing 'Selected Text' Highlight in Combo Box ?

[suel]

I have a form containing a Combo Box (cboYear).
On Form Load I fill the combo box . Then using a retrieved recordset (vrs) I put the recordset value into the combo. ie

cboyear.listindex = vrs!syear

This works fine, except the text is highlighted
Is ther some way to turn this off, until the user tries to select an alternative value ??

Thanks

Option Explicit

Private Sub Form_Load()
Combo1.AddItem "one"
Combo1.AddItem "two"
Combo1.AddItem "three"

Combo1.ListIndex = Combo1.NewIndex
Show ' you need this (at least I did)
Combo1.SelStart = 0
End Sub

To have nothing selected in a standard combo just use:

Combo1.ListIndex = -1

Let me know if this helps

I designed it full screen not realizing about resolution settings, etc. It is a one page purchase order form. I can break it into two or more forms--one for vendor's address, one for ship to address, etc., but don't know how I would keep that data together and then have a "preview" of the completed form at the end of the program for viewing before printing (which is something I am still working on too).

Is it getting harder to follow threads? or am I getting old? Let me know if this helps
