TJ and everyone, I got my answer to this problem. The drop down list will
show everyone up to 20 records. Anything beyond that then you will
automatically get the scroll bar. My current table is at 20 records. I
tried one that had list 50 records and the scroll bar was there automatically.

Thanks for you help and TJ, about the groupsize to 6 caused only 6 records
to be returned.

So I eventually answered my own question :-D

Speaking of that, I still haven't gotten my duplicate record problem solved
yet.

Thanks again for the help.
