activating a combobox

[Ron Noice]

Thanks, Pat. Don't think I would ever have come up with that idea -- and as a bonus, it actually works!! Sometimes the list closes again right away but that's probably due to something else I'm doing. So thanks very much for an inventive solution.

 The only way I found to do this is to get the loc (with mouseLoc) of the
 arrow on the combo box, and then click at that loc.

 eg

 click at "283,194"

 I'm sure to win the "Twit of the Day" award for this, but cannot figure out
 how to automatically activate a combobox field (button, menu, whatever). I
 want to be able to select something from combo1, populate combo2 based on
 combo1 and then have combo2 automatically open without the user needing to
 click it. Everything is under control _except_ the automatic opening of
 combo2. How, please? Thanks.
 .... Ron
