Steve,

You can check to see if the field has changed before you reset it. Use GETFLDSTATE for this.

nChanged = GETFLDSTATE("fldname")
if nChanged = 2 or nChanged = 4
RETURN DODEFAULT()
ELSE
THISFORM.cbo_names.ListIndex = 1
ENDIF

You could also move your reset statement to a method that you call when a new record is added.

Also, you could reset it only if the ListIndex is blank (ListIndex=0).
