>>>A combobox that uses a table or SQL statement to populate it. Typically occurs when you're trying to exit the form and VFP is trying to requery the combobox. Not sure why this is VFP's standard behavior, but I've removed those sources from many comboboxes using a SQL query / SCAN to load the control via .AddListItem() and I've not had the problem since.

I doubt the DE does because it is probably not aware of the cursor's existence. I don't issue a USE IN combocursor command so I'm not closing it. So what is "prematurely" closing it?

Have you traced this through using the debugger and watched for the cursor to close?
