Ken,
I am having a hard time to understand you. Of course there are other ways to do that, in VFP as they say, there are at least three ways to do something. I provided the one which I think is the simplest and most reliable.

You should have it in interactivechange or valid, not both. I don't remember I said set bound to .t. somewhere. The sample I gave had nothing to do with binding. Textbox' controlsource is independant of combo's controlsource and it is a simple refresh once the record pointer is moved in the target table. However in your sample it looks weird:

=seek(test.private,'test','prvate')

Searching the value in itself??? It should look like:

=seek(comboCursor.private,'test','prvate')

I don't know what is SQL's cursorname is norif test refers to real table or not. Check the sample code I sent.

I don't understand, what is "SQL 2"? You populate the combo with a plain SQL in init or by setting its RowSource property in PEM sheet.
