Hi!

It is not a spoil. VFP6 have a lot of new things, include new ways to handle internal events between controls etc. to speed up work. Probably this is related to such things as _VFP.AutoYield, control refreshing etc.

To be sure combobox refreshed after changes in its row source array, use combobox.requery.

If you change row source at all, do following in requery of combobox:

This.rowsource = ''
this.rowsourcetype = 0
* do query or some data preparations
this.rowsourcetype =
this.rowsource = 'whatever'

>A few months ago we updated our app to VFP6 from VFP5. A form used to add records has worked perfectly in VFP5 however, we suddenly found that the drop down combo boxes are not being updated as the user adds new records in our VFP6 version. I have verified that the code DID NOT change, but VFP6 will not update the array for the rowsource of the combo box. Here's a brief summary...

>Form Property:
>laac[1,1]

>After adding each new record we do this:
>select distinct field1,field2 from file into thisform.laac

>If you drop down the combo box, it does NOT contain the most recently entered data into field1 and field2. HOWEVER, the array, thisform.laac, is properly updated.

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs

It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
