Bill,

Every time I have encountered any problem doing what I want with a list or combo, I have use rowsourcetype 0 and done the above code. I have not encountered any performance problems with this approach and I have gained complete control over the list contents. I goen to using this appraoch as my default approach now and only revert to other rowsourcetypes when there is an overriding reason to dos so.
