>>>I've been struggling with this all day. I've got a combo box that holds a list of freight carriers. If a freight carrier is listed, that's fine, they can select it. However, if the carrier is not in the list, they are allowed to type the name in. I have a ControlSource set to an object's property, cCarrier. The RowSource is set to another property, aCarrier (an array, 'natch). RowSourceType is 5-Array.

>>>See the combo box. See the combo box value. Look!! Look!! See the property change! See the array update!! Look! Look!! Wha-- !?!! See the display go away! Poor operator!

>>>(For the VFP programmers)
>>>When the operator inputs a value, I see the (valid event) combo box value populating the object property. I see the valid event updating the array. But when the focus shifts from the combo box, the DisplayValue goes blank.
