hi pradeep
chkout the site that u given me, it works fine, but i neeed addtl for that, i mean when i type it will show the drop down, in my system it will show up all the general ledger in accounting heres the sample data two columns in combo box, there are 50 codes here diff in every company in a whole system, so if the user dont know the data it will always automatically show in combo i mean the dropdown when it receives focus

1 ASSETS
11 CURRENT ASSETS
1101 Petty cash fund
1102 Change fund
1103 Cash on hand
1104 Cash in bank
1104001 Cash in bank - MBTC (MKNA)
1104002 Cash in bank - BANCO DE ORO
1104003 Cash in bank - LANDBANK MARCOS H-WAY
1104004 Cash in bank - BPI/-FB MASINAG

1105 Accounts receivable
110501 Accounts receivable - trade
110502 Accounts receivable - others
110505 Customer deposit
110507 Accounts receivable - bounced check

You mean to say that when the ComboBox got focus it should display the list automatically?

yes, actually they are using it right now, combox box in the first column when it recvd focus it will automatically show the dropdown, just like when you mouseclk it, instaed theye are using the code only which is in numeric format , as you can see in my last reply

In the "GotFocus" event of the combobox write the following code,

for example if the comobobox name is "comboBox3"
comboBox3.DroppedDown = true;

I think this will help you :-)
