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.

Evan,

No luck. I tried adding the form refresh line and substituting my code with your WITH..ENDWITH code (neat tip, thanks!) and my lists are still not refreshing until I close/open the form. Ugh!
