I have several dropdown boxes in my form database that are hidden, and when I find a record, they do not pop up.. what Visual Basic code or Macro can be done to get them to pop up?

I would put some code in VBA like so :

drpDownBox1.Visible = True

Of course, you will have to figure out a way to tie that bit of code to the event of the record being found. If you need help with that part, post what you have so far, or explain how you want it to work, and I will be happy to help.
