But if going to next field by pressing ENTER key (CUAENTER is OFF), msgbox doesn't open (as if enter key was applied directly to the msgbox), and then I have no warning.

I am late to this discussion. (Frankly speaking I just read some threads
and rarely reply.)

I was coding something with a combobox and so this struck my mind.

There are multiple events associated with a combobox.
onChange is one of them

BUT my preference is
onChange_committed.

(Please check the spelling I may be wrong)

There is a slight difference between the two

onChange fires with every change be it scrolling or anything.

onChangeCommitted fires when the user tries to commit the change.

It may or may not help you. But this the reason for my preference.
