Hi Marcia,
Thanks...

You tip worked fine...
It's strange because I have many combos (not created as classes that work just this way but when I put it in a class it stopped working...)

IN particular all my cobos have
1)No Control source...
2)drop down combo
3) Rowsource=3 3x. select moc006 from mainstnd where not empty(moc006) order by moc006 into cursor cMoc006

4)Lost Focus Like : REPLACE Modacad.moc006 WITH RTRIM(This.DisplayValue)
5) Refresh Like: This.DisplayValue = RTRIM(Modacad.moc006)

In this case I can type in the combo and the value stays...But As a class I have to add the value to the rowsource...

Strange...

Anyways...

I checked out the book. Can you buy just the chm file and get it rigth away?

Thanks for your help.
