Michelle,

That depends on how the city combo is being populated.

I have come to realize that optimizing for performance should be the last thing you do in development. First make it behave the way you want it to, if you then notice that that approach is too slow, optimize for performance. For example, here's some code that would get the best of both approaches, in the combo state when;

* cboState WHEN
* Check to see if the suer hits another key in 1/2 second
IF CHRSAW(.5)
   * If they did hit a key get out of here
   RETURN
ENDIF
* If the did not hit a key, refresh the cbocity
THISFORM.cboCity.ReQuery()
