With combo box controls, I'm used to being able tab to them, click the down arrow key to open up the options, and then use the up and down arrow keys to navigate those options. In an Access form I've designed, pressing down while a combo box is active moves to the next control. I already have tab for that, so how can I get the down arrow to behave as I expect?

These combo boxes are the only thing between me and a mouse-free form, which I consider essential for data entry. Thanks in advance for your help!
