Kelly,

I imagine you will have to manually populate the combobox. You can use the afields() command to get an array of fields in a table and the information about each field. Perhaps using the rowsourcetype of array will work well for you, but I have found that most time I have better luck by just spinning through the array and adding each of items that I need to the combobox. Hope this helps.


>I need to have a combo box set to the structure of a certain table for use in filtering portion of a program. However, when I set the rowsourcetype to structure the physical names in the database appears. This is fine for me but my users want more descriptive names displayed instead of the names that are in the table. Any suggestions?
