Hi Marcia:

I have been hunting through Kilofox for the answer but nothing <s>.

>By any chance, is the RowSourceType for your combo either 2-Alias or 6-Fields? And is it bound to an integer surrogate key in the grid's RecordSource?

No, its rowsourcetype is 1-Value (Rowsource values: Excluded,Un-Paid,Part-Paid,Paid) and it hooks into a numeric N(1) field that contains these cash allocation codes numbers 1-4.

Any thoughts?

Best
