>>>Probably, you try to use this array in Combo.Init event which fires before Form.Init. Anyway, form property-array is much better way.

>I don't know, why you got it. I just see that both things are suspicious because of potential scoping problems (I don't know is it public array?). My preference is not to use arrays as combo.rowsource. Instead, I either use cursor or just fill combo by Add(List)Item.

I just issue a Clear All command and then the error came back, I think then
the cursor idea is the best one at this moment.. Humm interesting
thanks for your help
