Judith,
For the combo boxes that want you to select your state, after I
hit enter and alt-down arrow to get in the combo box, I'm able to hit
the first letter of the state. It isn't pin point accurate if your
state begins with an "M" or "N" for example, but it helps me skip a
lot of states. Then I can arrow down to the one I want.

Flor, Is one of the situations you are referring to those combo boxes
that
want the state you live in? There is a list of all fifty states and
until
you came up with this solution I was arrowing down until I found my
state
which is not Alabama, the top of the list. Thanks for the tip, Judith
