The RowSource of that combobox is this: SELECT authtype FROM authtype INTO CURSOR cur2 NOCONSOLE
The RowSourceType of that combobox is this: 3 - SQL - Statement

The ControlSource of the Combobox is this: authtype.authtype
The ControlSource of the Text is this: auth.authtype

Anything need to be modified for the RowSource? The grid is suppose to show the data from the auth table. The AUTHTYPE table has only one field, to have a list for that combobox, to be stored on the AUTH table (can not type something else on the AUTH.authtype, must come from AUTHTYPE.authtype).

I'm not making myself clear, sorry, both field definition should be the same. For example if authtype.authtype is c(10) (character field 10) than auth.authtype should be c(10) if it's c(9) you might run into problems.
