SYMPTOMS
========
With Visual Basic 5.0, prior to Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 2, the Change
event of the DBCombo control does not fire when the user makes a selection from
the drop down list. This behavior is different from previous versions of Visual
Basic.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. This bug has been fixed in Visual Studio 97 Service
Pack 2.
For more information on the Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 2, please see the

MORE INFORMATION
================
Please note: This change in behavior affects Visual Basic applications built
with both Visual Basic 4.0 (32-bit) and Visual Basic 5.0 because they both use
the same file, DBList32.ocx, for the DBCombo control. Once Visual Studio 97
Service Pack 2 is installed, the problem no longer occurs.
