Hi nycdon,
when user clicks the drop down arrow on the combo, the combo pops in front
of the textbox. This is a feature that we appreciate when we use combos on
continuous forms.

I suppose you could put the textbox over the combo so that it completely
covers the combo including the arrow and set the tabstop of the combo to no.
That you could prevent the combo from getting the focus and that should stop
it from popping in front of the textbox.

Cut your textbox to the clipboard and paste it again.
Or select you textbox in project view and:
menu > format > move to top

Dont cover the combo box....just adjust the width of the combo box to only
show the arrow and place it next the the text box. When you click on the
arrow if it does not show the list (because it is not wide enough) change the
combo box list width property.
