Hi Mike.

>> but when I change to a different item, the combobox goes blank. <<

The only reason that this happens is that the value of the controlSource is not in the combo's RowSource.

>> However, these are "". Is this because I've used a Rowsource with a Rowsource type of 6 (fields)? <<

I doubt it. It's probably because of how you are populating your cursor.

I looked at some of the code that you posted, and maybe I am missing something here, but I don't understand why you are not using the paramterized view as the alias in your field list. Then just set the parameter and requery the view in the Requery method of your combo. Of course, you would want to requery the combo in its init if you are going to open the view with NoDataOnLoad set to true.
