>I have a form which worked fine using several combo boxes. I added a new combo box and received a "field phrase is not found" error message. The help module says this error refers to the prompt.
>Yet there is no prompt in combo box, right?

>Here are the only settings different from a newly-instantiated base class object: (These settings are the only differences from the VFP standard pure-vanilla combo box.)
> rowsource= one of my tablenames
> rowsourcetype= 2-Alias

> controlsource= one of my memvars
> style= 2-Dropdown List

>All combo boxes refer to actual tables in the same dbf directory and are bound to actual character memvars or fields already used in the system. They all work except whenever I try to add a new one. All tables are only one field wide.

>Test one:
>I even copied an existing combo box on this form. It works as is when appearing twice on screen.
>
>Test two:
>When I change the rowsource to another exisitng table in the same dir, I get the field phrase error. All ohter settings are identical
>to those of the original working combo box.
>
>Test three:
>When I use the same rowsource (table) but change the controlsource (memvar name), I get the field phrase error again. All other settings are identical to those of the original working combo box.
>
>Test four:
>When I create the combo box new from toolbar, I get the same error.
>Gr-r-r-r...
>
>Is it possible there is a max limit to combo boxes per form or what?
>Not likely.

>How does the "field phrase" error apply to my forms/combo boxes anyway? Why am I unable to add another combo box to this form?
