Tom,
Set your rowsourcetype to 3 (SQL) and put your SQL expression in RowSource. Adjust Columncount to your desire (1 to fcount() in SQL) and Columnwidths like '100,50,40' (3 columns).
If value selected would change a field value in a table then specify what field value would be stored to which one. ie:
* SQL
select departmentname, deptid from depts into cursor crsDepts

* Target
personnel.deptid

Then set BoundTo = .t., BoundColumn = 2 and controlsource = 'personnel.deptid'
