Is there some kind of setting that when the combobox is the focus, you can arrow down through the choices?

I know that I used to be able to do this in Excel, but in Access, arrowing down moves me to the next control.

TIA!

Well, this one musta stumped some peeps, but I was able to find the answer:
Hello -

Your users can continue to use the down arrow key to open your combo box
quite easily. Within the KeyDown event of the combo box, insert the
following code (replacing cboMyComboBox with the name of your combo box
control):

If (KeyCode = vbKeyDown) Then
Me.cboMyComboBox.Dropdown
End If
