I understand. The reason I initially thought about setting this.BindControls to .F. was so that the form would be opened without any cursor or table (even though controls are bound to a cursor). Then the user would select the criteria for SQL Select WHERE and the cursor would be populated. This didn't work, as the combo that was part of the user selection criteria didn't have a pulldown (hence my posting this message). So I what I do now is get an empty cursor first which allows the BindControls to be set to .T.. Then user can specify the selection criteria and populate/fill the cursor for the form controls.
Thank you, Yuri.
