Hi Marcia...

Thanks, this did the trick!

>sele prefix,imprint2,publisher from publishe into cursor cpublisher1 having publishe.prefix=(this.cFilter)

Why does publishe.prefix=this.cFilter work when publishe.prefix=this.parent.combo1.value doesn't?

Any reason I need this in the When method instead of just putting it at the beginning of the GotFocus method?
