As for the hiding of the combobox button, you can't hide it but you can make
it invisible.

1. Create a textbox and in the properties make it invisible or if you would
prefer make the combobox invisible. (both control is bound to the same
controlsource, you may need to modify your auto-fill)

2. Make both the textbox and combobox the same width and height and put them
in the same position in the Form. The trick here is to make them visible with
your form's current event and combobox event, so that the correct control
will always be visible.

If isnull(combobox) then
' do nothing
else
' make textbox visible and combobox invisible
end if
