>>>>>Hi,
>>>>>
>>>>>I don't know if I'm missing something, but I have a ComboBox where the user can choose a "Client" in a form that handles "Instructions from Clients". When the drop-down list is open the user must see "Client's NickName", "Client's Name", "Client's Country" and "Client's City". So I have a ComboBox with 5 columns (the last one, that is hidden, contains "Client's identification") with a RowSource based on v_Clients. Everything is fine, but when the drop-down list is closed, the user can only see the TextBox with the "Client's NickName" (first column) and I have a need to see all 4 fields.
>>>>>I created 3 TextBoxes bound to "Client's Name", "Client's Country" and "Client's City" and everything is fine. The problem happens when I need to add a new "Instruction" and the 3 new TextBox are filled (with the first record of v_Clients), although the ComboBox is empty.

Thanks Nick, I'll think about it.
