>Using VFP 5.0
>I have a dropdown list box which is populated with an SQL statement sent to a cursor table. This drop down box value is not tied to any source. table. It's function is to locate record information and populate several other txtboxes on the form. Is there any way to "refresh" the cursor table for subsequent adding records or editing records.

Probably you can use a view instead of cursor and issue =REQUERY()to refresh it (and REQUERY() method for the listbox).

> When I run the form, add a new record (using the dropdown list to interactively copy data to several txtboxes) everything works fine. If I add or edit a subsequent record, the dropdown list (populated by the cursor table) points to the same record that I used before. The incremental search doesn't work. The only way I can use the same record is to down arrow in the combobox and then uparrow at which point it will now accept the same record. Not what I want to do.

About second part, I didn't completely understand in which area you are adding or edit records and how it refers to that listbox RowSource cursor.
Could you provide more details?
