But Microsoft, when doing the wizards, did not take CA into account when they were set up, and pcount() returns the wrong number for the cursor. I need to have it do a afields() and use that count for the loop count. Since this code is buried in the searchform, searchobject, I thought maybe I could do a bindevent to get around this problem.

Or, alternately, have a method in your form to which you'll pass a reference to the combo as a parameter (and yes you can add an array property to it programmatically and redimension it as you please).

The problem is not that simple, I did that already for one area, just overrode the inherited code by putting code in the object on the form. But with this one, it is more complex. I think I have not explain it enough, so, here goes:

My form as a button which calls another form from a class by way of createobject(), within this class form, there is another class that is used for an object on that form. This lowest class has my problem code in the init of it.

Going back over your answer, I am not sure what you are saying. And not sure how to ask an intelligent question about it. I have the name/reference of the form that is created with the createobject(), but can I get down to the object I need, before its init is fired?

Thanks for the info.
