Auto-tab on combo box

Guest

Is there an event that fires when the user selects an item from a combo box
via the mouse?

I would like to have the focus move to another record when the user selects
an item from a combo box via the mouse - without having to click the other
control or press Tab.

Is there a way?

I cannot do it on the Change event because then the focus moves as soon as
the user types the first character in the combo box, and I cannot do it in
the control's AfterUpdate event because that does not fire until the focus
leaves the combo box by the user pressing Tab or clicking elsewhere.

AfterUpdate doesn't fire until you leave the control if you type the entry. It
DOES fire without leaving the control if you make a selection with the mouse.
