Hi James.

>> I have two tables with a one to many relationship. when i am on the parent table record i want a combo box to show only the corresponding records of the child table. Is there a property to filter out non related records <<

How about setting the RowSourceType of the combo box to SQL and the RowSource to

SELECT Yada Nada Blah FROM SomeTable WHERE SomeField = ParentField INTO CURSOR MyCursor

Then, whenever the record changes in the parent table, all you have to do is

MyCombo.Requery()
