>This is the way that combo's work < s >. All you have to do is include the foreign key value in the combo's RowSource and set the combo's BoundColumn up to point to the column that contains the key value. This tells the combo to use whatever is in the BoundColumn to update the combo's ControlSource.

This concept I have used in simple cbo, okay.

I'll remember thanks.

Thanks I'll give this new cbo a try. I'll create handle key with the previous code and put this in the InteractiveChange. Is this all for an (more than) equivalant cbo, which I use?

I'll keep that in mind <g>.

Appreciating your help, thanks.
