Alexandre, I know that you know better solutions. I just want to tell that I use usually approach that is tested in production for years. I understand that newer versions of VFP can have issues with such combobox more or less fixed, or workarounds found that I did not knew about before I made that combobox class. I just want to tell that it is possible to do th same things by many different ways. This give a lot of flexibility and when one approach do not works, try another. The approach I given is just example of such way of making solutions. If you know better solutions - good for you. The point here is to do not hang on the bug as it is not avoidable. Just try another solution that do things different way producing the same result. Some way it should work, because other applications alreayd contain it working ;)

>>>there are many ways to accomplish the same result this without needing to code your combo.

Agree. the solution I proposed is the most generic and works for sure, though I could be wrong (as I said in the words above).

>for that matter then do the following when doing the statement for the combo source instead of having the id field as int convert it to Numeric(10,2) that is what the value of the combo will have if you pass an int to it, them you don't have any problem since is saved to the contacts table as int.

>>Yes, the sample is good. But you can always write a code in combobox that will not use ControlSource, but programmatically refresh and save value converting it to character value explicitly. At least this way I workaround mentioned bug in VFP with Int-based combobox in grid. In my app I usually have a combobox class that specially works that way and also tested with grid.

>>>Vlad tahe the following example a table name contacts that has one field called country tha field is a foneign key to the countrylist table this for example is working in SQL Server ang the primary key's for the tables is an identity field so being an identity is an int field now you have a grid to show the contacts and on the country field I have a comboshowing the countrys does this seems a good enoughf use case?

>>>>I never used combobox with Int field because it is supposed to work with character data only. Working with Int field comes from older versions of FoxPro and left for compartibility. It is not recommended to use this feature of combobox at all, because it is also confusing and less maintenable for application solutions (Int field is populated by comnbobox differently). Can you give sample of use-cases for such approach? Never had it.
