John,

Thanks for replying to my question.

That's right (rowsource=2). The cursor is opened in the init event of the form. It is being used in a relation with another table. When the record advances in one table, I have a method to locate the corresponding record in the cursor.

The combobox does not have a control source but is bound to the first field/column of the cursor.
