Can an event procedure be written in perhaps the "On Enter" or "On Got Focus"
property that would open a combo box upon entry into a field in a subform,
then close it when a selection is made? If not, is there a key that can be
pressed that would open it? I have some users who prefer to use only their
keyboard commands rather than using a mouseclick on the drop-down arrow.
Any suggestions are appreciated!
 
You can always use the standard windows keys
f4, or alt-downarrow will open the combo box (this has worked even in older
versions of windows).

However, users likey don't know the above keys, so you can place a

me.MyComboName.DropDown

In the on-enter event.....
