Try throwing a DoEvents in the click event before firing the database stuff.

Subject: [pro_vb] Combo Box not retracting


I've got a combo box who's click event fires a huge round of database work.
When you select something, the selection list falls behind the buttons that
were under it, but remains extended until the database is finished chewing.
Is there a way to prevent this?
