>thsiform.Refresh command calls the refresh of all child control. Refresh of the combobox in this process causes the problem. I guess you should not do anything in the InteractiveChange but just remember the DisplayValue in some property, than use it in the Valid event to add to teh table if it is new. If you want interactive search work using InteractiveChange, than do not do the refresh of entire form, but just a container than contains all other element, and put this combobox outside of the container, so refreshing of data when searching in combobox will not cause refreshing of the combobox.

that should have been obvious, thanks. I know that I've placed a few foolish posts on this UT, that should stop in about 2 hours ( demo's today, bumped up almost 2 weeks! ).
