Victor,

I have seen this type of behaviour with the combobox, listbox and grid when it related to a cursor / table. The cause, I believe, is the record pointer the control believes it should be on, no longer exist and it appears blank. I have set the pointer to the first record, refreshed the control, requeried, then refreshed the control again to get this behaviour to stop.

HTH,
