Antranik,
Are you putting all 900 records into your combo? This is NOT a good idea - combos aren't happy with more than 100 or so records and weird things begin to happen. This is particularly true if the combo is in a grid.

When I needed to have users pick from a list in a grid (and I had 32,000 items that time - inventory part numbers) I ended up with a textbox showing the item. In the WHEN event I added code that popped up a little grid search form - all the items with a couple of indexes and a Quicken-style search textbox. Whatever the user chose was fed back to the original grid. Very fast, since after the first use I used HIDE() not RELEASE() on the lookup form.
