combo box

[Tony R.]

Any help appreciated
I am changing my database to work with a touch screen monitor. I cannot figure out how to change the size of the drop down arrow selection portion of the combo box to make it a larger target for the touch screen.

IIRC, you can do this via the Font Size.

Is this a post-2007 version thing? AFAIK, it can't be done (at least in my version).
I figure you'd have to fake it by overlaying a command button with an arrow image on it.

I took a look and I was able to resize the pulldown thing via resizing the combo in design view. However, this only affected the height and not the width of the pulldown thing. I suppose a command button would be the way. Maybe a single command button could behave like a Tab key, setting focus on the next combo and then the next... This way it is just one place to click/touch. Or maybe two command buttons with arrows, forward and backward. Then a square colored as the back ground could hide the combo pulldown thing.

I should have mentioned that, but didn't think of it. It may provide a large enough target but will consume more vertical space on the form. If horizontal form space is not an issue (but vertical is) the button might be the answer. All you'd need to do is use it to drop down the combo:
Me.cmbMyCombo.Dropdown
Selecting a list item automatically closes the combo list.
