It sounds more like the width of the dropdown list is too narrow.

Look at your setting for the ListWidth property.

I wonder if anyone can shed any light on this?

I'm running a query triggered by the change event of a combo box. What it
does
is to look up the new value for combo1 against a table of possible values
for combo2.

For counter = 1 To UBound(vaPossActions, 1)
If vaPossActions(counter, 1) = flPossActions Then
cbSecActions.AddItem vaPossActions(counter, 2)
End If
Next counter

The actual code works fine but, for some unfathomable reason, the data
displayed in combo2 is truncated to a fixed width whilst it's being
chosen,
only when it's selected (and returns to a single line display) does it
show
the whole line of text.

Am I doing something wrong or is this just "one of those things"?

TIA

Jeff
