Data bound drops downs dont drop down!

 Data bound drops downs dont drop down!

VB4 code that works PROPERLY whilst in RUN mode of the VB4 development
environment fails to work when built as an EXE. The data bound drop down
list boxes are not mouse active - but they work if you can remember the
keyboard shortcuts.....(Mouse activates the drop down - but you cannot
select or scroll through the list using a mouse - only the keyboard
cursor keys etc!!!)
Anyone any ideas here? (This 'feature' is the only thing standing
between me and my users accepting the code - help will be appreciated..)

Thanks
Graham

 Data bound drops downs dont drop down!

Hi
Unfortunately this is as far as I can tell a bug with the VB4 combo control. We
got past it by using the Crescent powerpack Combo's although it is a lot slower
than th microsoft Combos. We also found that on different machines the results
differ. On some machines you can have 7 combo's on a form on others even less.

Sorry about the bad news. - ----- convert to VB5 - they fixed it.
