>I have a combobox on a form. In the Valid event of the combobox I DO FORM which calls up a modal form. The modal form contains a lone combobox and an Exit button. When I choose a value in the modal form combobox that works, but when I press Exit to return to my modeless original calling form, it wipes out the Value and/or DisplayValue of the original combobox and shows me the drop-down list that was in the modal form that I just left.

It sounds like the two combos are operating on the same dataset? Can you set the modal form to either use a private datasession?
