hi. I have an ACCESS 2003 DB, where i have created a form in which one of the fields is a drop down box (list box). This drop down box list contains over 200 names and is a bit cumbersome to get to the name i want. Is there anyways i can use my down arrow button on my keyboard to navigate to the next name in my list? Whenever i try using my down arrow key,even with the field active all it does is jump me down to the box in my form.

Also, when i open the form, is there anyway to get it to default to a 'new record' rather than opening up and always showing the first record?

thanks
