Thanks for your help. I don't know if the site I was looking at
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...32(VS.60).aspx was
specifically for a data access page, but I'm hoping to use this in an Access
database form.

You are describing a control that is specific to a data access page, rather
than a standard Access form. Here's the text from Access HELP:

(drop-down list box: A control on a data access page that, when clicked,
displays a list from which you can select a value. You cannot type a value
in a drop-down list box.)

Are you using a data access page?

How do I go about changing the style of a combobox in Access 2000 from the
default to a simple combobox (i.e. show records in list at all times
instead
only showing records when arrow is clicked?)? I've seen articles on the 3
styles available, but none with an explanation on how to actually set it
to
the simple style.
