If I put a combo box onto a container with rowsource type set to fields and drop the container onto a form, I sometimes get the error "Alias parent is not found" at line "loObject = CREATEOBJECT(tcClassName)" in doform() when the form should be instantiated. This doesn't always happen when constructing objects like this. I presume it is something to do with the table not being found. If I put the same combo box directly onto the form it works perfectly.

Any help would be appreciated.
