>Brian, thanks for the reply. Actually, the rowsource and the controlsource are from the same table. That's the part that didn't make sense to me. Any other thoughts?

Ken,

A combo or list with rowsource and controlsource from the same table will never work dependably. It creates a control that is totally insane;

1. Update the current record from this table's field
2. Move the pointer in this table when the value of this control changes
3. But keep in mind that the table you update is the same as the table you move in
4. Now don't get confused as you try to update record 1 in the table and at the same time move to record 7 in the same table
5. Just because the current record is 7 after you move you should still update record ... now wait what record was that ...
