For each instance of my modified combobox I would have to manually place a copy of the array on the form + create a unique name for each copy. If I make it a member of the modified combobox, the creation & initialisation is automatic & there's no need for a unique name.

Thanks, I've got the combo class based on array working - once I've done the mods to use the new class, I'll look at the autocomplete function - if that's slow, I'll look at converting to SQL cursors.

Again, thanks for the help.
