>>>I've got a dropdown list whose recordsource is a SQL statement (type 3). It creates a cursor (contact names) which is used for the list. I'm allowing the users to enter another form to add a new contact.

>I'm not sure where I do this. More info... I've got an "Add a new contact" button on FORM1 that calls FORM2 where the user adds a new contact record. Then FORM2's Save button releases FORM2, returning to FORM1. They're now back on my FORM1 with the dropdown lists having SQL statements querying CONTACTS.DBF as recordsources, one of which is named 'cmbATName' for example.

Mandy,
First of all never a pain. Many ways and places to do it in fact but for your detailed case it could be like this :

* Button.click (calling form2)
..
do form form2  && New contact added
thisform.cmbATName.requery() && refresh list on return
