My first object in th eform is a combo
in the valid event i have the next code now

replace user.name with this.displayvalue
thisform.refresh

as properties i use

control source user.name
rowesource user.name
rowsource typ 6-fields
style 0-dropdown combo

when i open the the first name of the table is shown in the combo
when i search an other name the from is working fine
when i add a name I can fill in the value's and it's working
fine. But when I change a name its change the record before the record
pointer ( i change record 10 but it change record 9)
