>Today I'm realizing how little I use comboboxes set to a dropdown combo instead of a dropdown list. I have a test form based all on VFP base classes where I'm having trouble getting a combobox set up as a dropdown combo to populate a form property. The ControlSource of the combobox is set to a form property. The form has the combobox and a command button. When I enter something in the combobox and tab to the command button, then press Enter (which gives me a WAIT WINDOW about the value of the form property that the combobox is attached to), it reports no value. Probably this is something simple, but it's escaping me at the moment. What gives?

So as you enter a new value in the combo you want the form property to have that value added to it?

But if the combo's source IS the form property then it's sort of contradicting itself, as the property doesn't include that new value already.

Sound to me that you should divorce the source from the property, have it as rowsourcetype 0 (none) and, in the .valid of the combo, add the new value to the property (presumably a form array?), then have code read the array into the .List of the combo (as some code already has done on initialising the form).

Make sense?
