Thank you Anders, Ceil, et al. I appreciate your help.

Resolution: I put KEYBOARD {F4} in KeyPress(). Of course, it's surrounded

by the necessary logic, but it is in there.

What?!? You're asking why I did this? Well, let me tell you.

I created a quickfill combobox as per one of Tamar's FPA articles. Works

beautifully but it wasn't good enough for me. I wanted to further mimic the

IE5 (maybe IE4 as well) address combobox whereas once a partial match is

found, the list will drop down and the user can then cursor up or down

through the list to find their item, or keep typing.

My only remaining obstacle is that if the list has dropped down, I do not

want to trap the up and down arrow movements.

If only I knew a way to determine if the list has dropped down. If only...
