Vlad,

Never mind. I did the .ControlSource = .ControlSource instead of those two lines and everything works great! Thank you for ALL you help!

>How about the references to Value and DisplayValue in the mInitSQL code below? I can't seem to work out how to eliminate those lines without wrenching the functionality out of the Combo. And if you're weary of this topic just let it go and I'll program around the GetFldState logic instead. Thanks, Renoir
