Hi Tom...

Ed's approach, while it does work, is not the most efficient way to accomplish your goal.

If you set the RowSourceType to 8 - Structure, you can then set the Rowsource Property to the name of the table you which to view the structure of... It is important to note that after you set these properties, you need to invoke the Requery() Method of the Combo.

So, in your case, you could have the one form in the formset set the required properties and invoke the method of the combo in the other form in the formset.
