Combobox, how to stop event firing when scrolling -

Hi Guys,

I am a fairly basic user when it comes to VB6, I have, what is getting to be a rather large project.
I have a Combox box with a large list of entries populated from a text file, then a number of If statement depending on what is selected from the Combobox drop down list. (Style 0)

My problem is when scrolling through the list the If statements are firing when passing certain entries rather than waiting for me to Click on the relevant entry.

Is there any way I can stop this so it only works on a mouse click event, I tried _Change but this did not work either.

Any help would be cool,

Thanks
