	Is there a command that will direct a combo box to open automatically when a user navigates to it, without requiring the user to click on the arrow?

	How about a macro that presses the Down Arrow on Field Entry for the combo?

	That sounds right, but whenever I record and play back such a macro, the combo choices flash on the screen and then disappear, and the box then contains the first choice in the list.

	Have you considered using @PopupMenu instead?

	@PopupMenu does open the list on entry to the element, but it does not allow use of the combo box treatment of being able to narrow down the list of choices as each letter is typed.

	Erika, Is there any chance that @PopupMenu will someday allow us to type in the first few characters, and have the highlight move to that particular portion of the list, similar to how combo boxes work?

Yes, there is a new command going in an upcoming release called @PopupChoiceList (the name may change), that provides a popup choice list with scrollbars, paging, and alphebetic selection.
