Don't know if this is better or not, but another approach.......

FUNCTION searchcombo
LPARAMETERS toCombo,tcValue
LOCAL lcCurValue,llReturn
WITH toCombo
     lcCurValue = .DisplayValue
     .DisplayValue  = tcValue
     llReturn = .ListIndex > 0
     .DisplayValue = lcCurValue
ENDWITH
RETURN llReturn

>That's what I ended up going with, but things like this have always been an issue with me and combo boxes. With all the properties that mean ALMOST the same thing - why isn't there an easy way to do the equivalent of a SEEK in a table or an ASCAN with an array?
