>>Did you use that AutoFill combo class? I tried it and found a few problems with it not working quite the way I wanted it to or expected it to. I modified it a bit and now it's not too bad. Actually "modified" is a poor choice of words ... more like kludged it. At the time, I was still a little green with VFP and combos are tricky anyway. All I knew was that it wasn't working quite how I wanted and I started plugging code in every which way until it did. I think I probably have a lot of extraneous stuff in that class right now, but I'm afraid to touch it because at least it works. < g >

Bonnie,

What kind of problems did you have. I use the autofill all the time a combo is called for. I can't recall if I modified it or not, but I could always go back and take a look. For me it does just what I need. Allow for an experienced data entry person to key the first couple letters of the code, then [tab] to the next field. For a not too experienced person, they can click on the combo arrow to make their selection.
