>>Hi All,

I also wanted instantiate the container on a page of a pageframe at run time. Everything was working fine until I decided to add a combo box to the container as lookup for one column in a table. I have code in the combo class so it will populate itself with the proper data at run time. Here is the issue. Only on the page the init code will not run. I put the following in the init:

The rowsourcetype was alias. The problem seemed to come from having a rowsource defined and opening the cursor in the init. With this configuration the init would not fire at all and this only happend when using a pageframe. Once I removed the rowsource and then added it back after the cursor was opened, all worked fine. The form is now working but this is really strange.

Thanks for you help.
