Hiya ---

Glad your mapinfo stuff is working.
Did you see my post yesterday on the Windows World Open?
Maybe your app could be a candidate?

>>>This works great if I want to force them to choose a code. But in some cases, I want them to be able to set the filter to everything. So, I want to put in the option to choose "". I don't, however, want to have "" as a code, since the codes are user-editable and they're likely to delete it. (Yeah, I know, I could get around that, but it makes things much more complicated)

>>>I also tried, in the init, putting the SQL there, then doing AddItem to each record in tmp, and setting the rowsource to 0. I get the same error.
