The combo boxes are bound to a column in the local view. The rowsourcetype = 1 and the rowsource is a comma separated list of text values. I am working in VFP 6 SP 5.

After all this year we resolve that problem using the property rowsource = 0 if you change the rowsource and then assigne again I believe that will populate your combo boxes correctly try that. Remember to also re asign the value controlsource of your combo box. Also you did not said if your combobox are bound to a table or to items. Let me know that first. I am assuming that you use a table not an item combobox.
