I am sure there is a work around. Otherwise, I am in trouble <g>.
Here is the brief explanation.
I have a combo box in a container. The RecordSource for this combo box is an array. To populate this array, in the INIT method of the combobox calls a method of the container. But it bombs there because the method of the container relies on a property set in the INIT method of the container (which has not fired yet). So I have to reconsider the entire sequence of how to populate this array.
