Here's the code in the ComboBox InterActviveChange Event:

WITH ThisForm
	DO CASE
		CASE This.ListIndex = 1		&& LASTNAME+FIRSTNAME
			WAIT WINDOW NOWAIT "Setting Order to LastName + FirstName...You may do a Compound Search on Last and First Names."
			SET ORDER TO LFNAME
			.txtSearchBy.MaxLength  = LEN(A_INMA.LastName) +LEN(A_INMA.FirstName)
			
		CASE This.ListIndex = 2		&& FirstName
			WAIT WINDOW NOWAIT "Setting order to First Name"
			SET ORDER TO FirstName
			.txtSearchBy.MaxLength = LEN(FirstName)

		CASE This.ListIndex = 3		&& Reference #
			WAIT WINDOW NOWAIT "Setting order to REF..."
			SET ORDER TO REF
			.txtSearchBy.MaxLength = 6	&& LEN(REF)
			SET STEP ON

	ENDCASE
