i have tried what you said and i see the refreshed data without requering the combobox.

Where are you changing the records? i ask you this because if the records are being changed in another form, i do not see the need to have the buffermode set for that table in this form.
Did you use TABLEUPDATE() after the records changed?

i hope it helps, i will be on line for a while so i may help you if you need.


>I have a form with a combo box on it which is bound to a table which has the buffermode set to 5. The table is opened in the DE. I allow the user to change the records in the table and then requery the combo box, but it seems the data in the table the form is using is not refreshed and the form still see the old data. When I set the buffer mode back to default the form see the changed data.
