Ok, I've read this a few times and I'm afraid I can't understand what this has to do with my question. What it looks like you're describing is a rather convoluted way to deal with PKs in comboboxes. Since comboboxes already can handle two columns without all that extra work, I don't understand why you would do that, but to each his own. :) At any rate, I don't see the connection between this and pulling all the PKs out of a supermover...

I can't afford to spend anymore time with this, so I'm just going to go with padding the string as was initially suggested.

Thanks,

Michelle
