Hi Chris,

What you describe below has been the way to get into and out of a combo box 
forever. It's really got nothing to do with this new Auto Forms Mode deal.

Hello.

The recommended way by freedom scientific to deal with the combo box using
the new forms mode is to use "alternate + down arrow" to open the combo box
when you do this while focused on the combo box you will activate forms mode
and you will some forms mode off when you use "alternate + up arrow" to
close the combo box.

Hi List,

    Just to add to Peter's post (below), Forms Mode does come on
automatically in JAWS 10 if you Tab to a combo box instead of cursoring to
it.
