I'll give it atry along with Jim's suggestion. I thihk it has to do with the RowSourceType which for me is 3. The disable might only work with None or Array.
>I don't understand why it doesn't work for you. This code works fine for me
>Dimension This.aFieldName[3,2]
>This.aFieldName[1,1]="\Last Name"
>This.aFieldName[1,2]="SearchTable.dHire"
>This.aFieldName[2,1]="\Date of Hire"
>This.aFieldName[3,2]="SearchTable.cLastName"
>This.aFieldName[3,1]="Social Security #"
>This.aFieldName[3,2]="SearchTable.cSSN"
>This.Rowsource=This.Rowsource
>
>The first 2 items are disabled. The last line, which looks ridiculous, is vital. The RowSource remains the same -- even though the contents have changed -- until you explicitly tell it to change. I don't know how you're loading your ComboBox, AddItem ir what, but try resetting the RowSource.

>>Tried it both ways - with and without a space - with and without a dash - the only thing I didn't try was a >.
