Frank,
The size of the dropdown in VFP3 and VFP5 is a max of 7. So if you have 8 or more items only 7 at a time can be seen. In VFP6 you can control the size with the new DisplayCount property. I don't think this is causing your problem though.
>David, would you tell me what property controls the size of the pulldown list. I populate the array and consistently am one element shy of whats needed.
