Can anyone suggest a way to select from a combo box in a form using the
up/down arrows and enter key rather than the mouse.
Thanks
 
What are you referring to, opening the combo without the mouse? Try F4 when
the control has focus that will dropdown the combo for you...

Code the combo box Enter event:
Me.[ComboName].Dropdown

Then the user can directly use the up/down arrows to navigate down the
list. Hit Enter or Tab after highlighting the correct item.
 
Thanks that works perfectly.
