"comboBox text entry" problem -
Hi everybody,
I have two comboBox controls on a form, and one of these controls isn't behaving itself!
I believe I need to find and eliminate code that tells the control how to accept data. When I try enter a new item in this comboBox, all I will see in the comboBox is the last character I typed... not the whole word.
Any ideas as to what would cause a comboBox to behave this way?
Many thanks,
Paul
