Hi, Harry-
How are you populating the list? What version of VFP do you use?

>Annoying example:

>I have a combo box selection of available indexes for the user to select what order they wish to view data in. In the app, this behaves exactly as I require. The array is filled with the tags and the combo automatically drops down to display the choices.

>Compile to exe and even if I run it from the app directory (thus using the same foxpro environment I assume)
>
>a) it doesn't (necessarily!) fill the array (I get "dir" appearing in front of the first choice and no other choices appear on the list)
>
>b) it never automatically pops down, you always have to click the down button.

>(I get the same failure to pop down with all my combos when running the exe but at least I normally get the selection list!)
