Hi,

Just doing a Requery() is apparently not enough. Can you elaborate on some details? Specifically:

What would you use for the ComboBox.RowSource and ComboBox.RowSourceType?

What do you mean with "unbind and bind it again" - does this refer to blanking properties RowSource and RowSourceType?

Do I understand that I just load the cursor in Form.Init(), and then re-load when I add a new client in the other form?

Thanks,

Hilmar.
