>I am trying to fix an inherited functional converted program. On start up the main form calls a second form from which is used as a picklist to select a client. The data enviroment has the table in it, the pick list is a list box, rowsource is the desired fields, rowsourcetype is 6, init method has the line "thisform.refresh(). If pick list is invoked after start up it works as expected, i.e. see a list of names. Any clues to why list box starts of with nothing displayed? TIA

Claude,
Have you tried a requery if the picklist is a list/combo or a refresh if the picklist is a grid? In addition to the thisform.refresh()?
