First, when the dropdown box had the focus and the listing is display, I want the item that is selected to have focus. This keeps the user from having to scroll to the selected item, then having to go possibly numerous items either way to select the update item.

Reply from Alex Hedley:

You could bind the control to a field in record source then the selected item would show

I'm still not fully aware of what you're trying to achieve maybe if you explain what you have and what you want with an example we can help
