Yeah, I remember that fix now.


>Your suggestion is a good one, but I like to put the code into the object as much as possible - hopefully good OO techniques....

This is easy once you add a method to your combo class that does the requerying for the recordsource. Then in combo.init, run the method and set the source. OO to the bone...
