When I add a new combo box, dragging it from the field
list onto the form, it takes on a default font and font
size. How can I change this default font and font size to
soemthing else? I am using Access 2000.

Thanks,

Bob
 
You can either change the defaults, and then go format->set control
defaults.

Doing the above means all new controls will take on what you just did.

So, often, I will look around for a nice control that has the settings I
want, highlight that control, then go format->set control defaults.

Now, any new control I place on the screen will take on this new stetting.
So, this even works when you have a label on TOP of the text box, and you
need to add a few more with the same layout.

So, make a habit of often using the format->set control defaults. I use it a
lot during development.
 
Thank you for your answer Albert. Here I've been for more than a year
struggling along reformatting every control on my dang forms! Yeesch! Next
time I'll save myself a lot of time and follow your advice.
