Rob,
No, you don't have to set Boundto = .T. I was just trying to clarify which property you were refering to in an earlier post. Read the help on it: it *should* be fairly clear.

As for the cbo. Have you tried using the cbo builder to at least get a start on your cbo?

Then the moving pointer will be in the picklist/cursor (rowsource) of the cbo but not the record pointer in the master table, as I have been experiencing. If that's true, my problems will be over soon.
