Default Type of form???

There was a form that I used before but I can't remember how the former
developer developed it. When I placed my cursor over the text box, I believe
it was a text box, a drop down list would appear and then I could click on
whatever was on that drop down list.

Does this sound familiar to anyone???

Thanks!

Sounds as though he may have placed a text box on top of a combo box, and in
the GotFocus event of the text box, set focus to the combo box so that it
appeared on top of the text box.
