i have a form with a grid on it. the grid has multiple columns and some of the columns have a combobox control as the current control.

all of the combobox controls have a rowsource type of 3 and the rowsource for each one is a seperate sql a select statement. the grid displays fine and the combocontrols work fine.

my form also has a detail button on it which dynamically builds a detail form to allow editing of a single row from the grid. i do this by scanning thru the grid columns and using all of the property settings from the grid columns current control. i dynamically instantiate controls for the detail form and set the properties to place them as well as define the behavior based on what i read from the grid column.

the problem that i am having is that when i close the detail form to go back to the form with the grid, i get the message can not access selected table. for some reason the cursor that drove one of the combobox controls gets closed.

i am a bit stumped because there are multiple columns in the grid using this technique and only one column has the problem with the cursor closing. in fact, i have used this technique throughout my entire app and i only have a problem with one colum on a single grid.

i can't figure out why or what to do...?

thanks in advance for any insight.
