>How can I populate 1 combo box programmatically with data from 2 different fields (i.e. Unit of issue field and unit of issu description field) so that the combo box popluation looks like the following:
>
>EA - Each
>BX - Box
>etc etc etc....

You can use a SQL rowsource, something like:

select UnitOfIssue + ' - ' + UnitDescription as Units from myUnits into cursor c_units

Or you can set the combo to have 2 columns, and give some widths in the columnwidths property and then the select would look like:

select UnitOfIssue, UnitDescription from myUnits into cursor c_units
