Okay, here's a fun one for you guys and gals. While trying to create a data entry form for employees' time, I ran into a gliche that is frustrating to say the least. On this form, there is a dropdown listbox that displays pre-sorted tasks for various departments. The data is sorted through the following SQL statement:

**gcDept is a variable selected from a dropdown combo on the same form

SET SAFETY OFF
SELECT Str_task.code_num, Str_task.descriptio;
FROM fdms!str_task;
WHERE gcDept = Str_task.dept;
ORDER BY Str_task.code_num;
INTO TABLE H:\VFP\FDMS\DATA\DATAQUERY\QWhodaddy.dbf
SET SAFETY ON

The resulting data in the dropdown listbox contains only the tasks that apply to the department that was entered earlier (gcDept). However, only the first (str_task.code_num) is displayed; the second (str_task.descriptio) is not visible even though the combo builder shows otherwise. Also, to add further entertainment, if we select the department three times then the str_task.descriptio finally appears. I say whassup wit 'dat? Any help or comments would be appreciated. I've spent the day on it and my head is fried. Thanks.
