Hi Brad,

There is a DropDown event that fires when the list drops down. I use a

form-scoped property called lDropDown that I set to true in the DropDown

method. Only problem is that there is no corresponding ListUp event ... I

have found no way to determine if the user gets rid of the DropDown ... but

usually that's a minor issue.
