Hi. I posted this a few days ago and got only one reply
from Terry, which was later retracted. Heres another try.

Is there an Event associated with the user opening a
Combo box? That is, when they click on the down pointing
triangle to the right hand side of the Combo, to view the
combo list. I want to present users with a message box
that pops up when they click on the triangle. Ive tried On
Open, On Got Focus and On Click but my message doesnt get
triggered at the point I want. Any ideas? Thanks, Leon
 
Leon,
The On Enter event seems to work for a simple example that
I made up.

No.

Combos have a Dropdown method (i.e. you can drop them down), but there is no
DropDown event that fires when the user drops them.

You could try the combo's MouseDown event. The event provides X and Y
coordinates, so you may be able to use these to figure out if the click was
likely to be in the zone where the arrow is. Values will be in twips, where
1440 twips = 1 inch.
 
Thanks to you both for these replies. Ill have another
check to see how the On Enter Event works, Geof. Maybe I
missed something, although Allens reply suggests not.
Cheers, Noel
