Yes, with rowsource of fields it was always so, even in DOS days IIRC. If that causes unwanted behavior, you can select the relevant fields into a separate cursor for that combo so that it doesn't affect an alias which you use elsewhere. If the records in that alias may change and you want the combo to reflect the change, well, requery it as needed.
