Christian,

I'd suggest populating the grid on-the-fly from from a query based on the combo box selection rather than a filter. One reason for this would be to avoid scoping problems and errors that will occur as a result. For example, open up a table, then create a new program file. Put the following, replacing "somefield" and "somevalue" as appropriate, in the new program file, highlight it and exectute

LOCAL lcvalue
lcvalue = somevalue
SET FILTER TO somefield = lcvalue

Now go to the command window and issue a BROWSE.

You'll get the error message that 'Variable "LCVALUE" is not found'
