>How does this work to pass a variable(lparameter cTablename) from a combo1.value on a previous form in a formset? Currently I just get the value of the 'pick a table' combo box. Referring to this box from my current form (Search form). How would this be passed

Formsets huh? Are these forms in the same form set? You can substitue LPARAMETERS tcTableName with lcTable = oOldForm.Combo1.Value or similar. If you use a DO FORM to get the other form up, use the WITH clause: DO FORM Search WITH This.Combo1.Value. Is this what you were looking for?
