Mârten,
>If 'THISFORM.oKlient.df_person' is something initialized to say .f. than this error would occur. For a combobox value could be set to either char or numeric.

Thanks for solving the problem for me. My object is indeed .F. at this point and moving the setting of the controlsource to the forms init event solved it.

But one more question comes up after solving this one. When dose VFP set the controlsource property? Is it after all init events has been executed?
