Open A Combo Box Automatically
This is helpful if users need to enter large amounts of data. There are two ways to open ComboBoxes when they get the focus by using the tab keys.
When the ComboBox gets focus:
Press Alt + Down Arrow on the keyboard
For it to happen automatically, needs a bit of coding:
1. Add a combo box and a text box control to the form
2. Set the combo box's On Got Focus property to the following event procedure:
Private Sub ComboBoxName _GotFocus()
Me!ComboBoxName.Dropdown
End Sub
3. Open your form in Form View and use the TAB key to make sure it works.
