>>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.

As soon as I sent you my previous message I thought about the same. Why not to do all this business in the container INIT method. And then from the INIT method to .Requery() the combo.
Thank you very much for the suggestion. It should work.
