Default Display drop down list on data entry

Is there a way to set the property for a combo box to display as a drop
downED list without having to click on the down arrow or alt+down arrow?
Thanks.

Why not just use a List Box?

Me![ComboName].Dropdown

Where you place that code will depend upon what you are doing.
Try the form's Current event to have it down every time you navigate
to a different record. As soon as you do something on the form it will
un-dropdown.
