Slowly the light dawns. You'd like the combos to reset to the SAME record if a user makes a choice in any of them. So if he chooses "Thanks" in combo1 you want him to immediately see "Gracias" "Arigato" and "Merci" in the other 3? You'll need 2 columns in each combo. The DisplayValue will be the text, the Value will be the PK of the record. Then in the InteractiveChange of each combo you set the value of the others to the PK. If the PK isn't found (because a blank value wasn't included in the list), you may have to add code to blank the record. I haven't tested it.

>You could look at as, one name in four languages. The problem is you don't know which language you will find it. Hence, three card monty:). That is why I want to populate each combo with distinct. If I use fields as the RowSource I have blank fields to search through.
