I've had occasional problems whenever I tried using SQL as a rowsource for listbox and combobox. Works without a hitch if the listbox rowsource is essentially constant, but got into weirdness when underlying query was re-generated by performing reuery() on the control. Sometimes it would work, and sometimes it would behave as if the underlying query had failed to generate a cursor. Ended kludging a workaround by setting rowsource type to alias, then performing the query in a method (this method would first clear the rowsource value, then perform the query to create the cursor, then assign the rowsource to the cursor name).
