>I have a combo box on a form which uses a field from a table as its RowSource. Upon opening a form, I have moved the pointer in the open table to EOF(). However, this disables the combo box. To try to get around this, I tried changing the BoundColumn property for the combo box from 1 to 0 (I also tried not entering anything). In both cases I received the following error msg: 'Expression evaluated to an illegal value.' Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, CH.

Chuck,

Leave the BoudnColumn alone and blank out the ControlSource property.
