Combo Box Select Area Problem

[Dave the wave]

I ma having trouble with a combo box I placed on a form. When the list
expands to require a scroll bar it is difficult if not impossible to make
the scroll bar work because the combo box reads the mouse click as if it
were over the adjoining list item. I've tried changing the size of the combo
box but I have yet to find any size that works any better. I've looked
through the properties but don't see any property that would affect this
issue.

Thanks for any help provided.

I found out the solution though I don't understand the details.

I opened up a sample database with combo box and scroll bar. It worked fine,
so I reopened my database and opened up the form and the scroll bar worked
just fine. I switched the form to edit view, then back to form view and the
problem reappeared.

This eliminates my concern about any users having problems with the combo
box -since they will not be switching views like I do. However, I think the
scroll bar should not be affected by switching views.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?
