>i have coverted an scx to vcx. Now I am getting an error message "unknown member combobox". The vcx form hsa 71 controls. In debug all the controls are shown but their properties have some weird symbol displayed. I have init code that calls a method to disable all textboxes and comboboxs, the control count is only 51. Anyone know what's going on.

I sounds like your form class got corrupted. Try to restore it from backup.
