I think this may be simple...
I have a combo box on a form. When a user starts typing a selection it pulls
up a selection. How can I get where the user can arrow down to go to the
next selection on the list. Is there a property for the combo box to allow
this? I am trying to get where the user does not need their mouse.

Thank you!

I think if you code the Combo box Enter event:

Me![ComboName.Dropdown

The list will open as soon as you enter the box. You can start typing
the first few characters then use the down arrow key to go to the next
item(s) in the list.
 
I tried that. I got a Compile Error that says missing bracket. I added the
bracket like this:
Me![Program.Dropdown]
I then received a Compile error of Expected: =

Any suggestions?

Yes, I left off the closing bracket .... BUT it belongs after the
control name, not after the dropdown.

Me![ComboName].Dropdown
 
I should have known that. Thank you so much. It works perfectly!
