>To make it easier on the user in making a selection from a combo box, I am displaying a list of employee.nmbr, fname, lame in a dropdown combo box. The employee table is a parent and is ORDERed by nmbr. A child table's fields are displayed in a grid below for the selected employee.

>Everything goes fine as long as the user either selects an employee from the dropdown combo or types in a valid employee.nmbr in the combo's edit area. However, if the user types in an invalid employee.nmbr in the combo edit area, the display still shows an employee.fname & lname in a label that I have placed just above the grid, to wit:

>ThisForm.Label5.Caption= ;
>	ALLTRIM(prlink.fname)+" "+ ;
>	ALLTRIM(prlink.lname)

>If '9999' is entered into the combo's edit area, the employee's name from the last indexed record, '9801', is displayed.

Firstly, you can prevent typing in text protion by using drop-down list. If it's not a case, then you can reset Label.Caption from Combo.Interactivechange event.
*** Combo.Interactivechange
if this.displayvalue != This.value
thisform.label.caption=""
else
thisform.label.caption=ALLTRIM(prlink.fname)+" "+ ;
ALLTRIM(prlink.lname)
endif

BTW, you can always provide that fname+lname will appear in text portion of combo itself.
