Dorris,

The rowsource of your combobox is fields, however your cursor Countit has no field lastname, also I dont think you can combine the fields of your table Officers (firstname, DOB and empcnty ) just like that in your combo.rowsource.
The select statement in your textbox.lostfocus also puzzles me : Select * From Officer ;
WHERE Alltrim(Upper(LASTNAME))+Alltrim(Upper(FIRSTNAME)) = Alltrim(Upper(lname)) + Alltrim(Upper(fname)) ;
INTO Cursor Countit
where have you defined the locals lname and fname?
And why do you code/instantiate your combo box in the lostfocus of a textbox? Instantiate it in the combobox I would say.
What do you expect to see / with what data should your combobox be populated?

Regards,
