Travis,

When the SQL executes there is not thisform any more. Pull the value to a local memvar first:

local lcName
lcName = thisform.combo1.value
select ... = lcName ...

>The exact message is:

>Object is not contained in a form
>Method: Capplication.Doform
>Line 71
>
>Select Contacts.contactname FROM Contacts WHERE contacts.clientname = thisform.combo1.value INTO CURSOR myList
