I think you are exactly right because this pertains only to those fields where I have comboboxes and there are three of these. I have never had this problem with ComboBoxes before, so is this a VFP 9.0 thing? So, I suppose I should do the control source soemtime after the form's LOAD event? I'll experiment.

>We were having similar problem with State combobox a while back. I think we had to set combo's ControlSource after we created the array in code or something like this to fix the problem. I may try to search for this thread later on.
