Walter, That is basically what I have:
thisform.mycombobox4.rowsource=''
select * from office3 into cursor whichoff where not 'BO' $ office order by office nofilter
thisform.mycombobox4.rowsource='whichoff'
thisform.mycombobox4.selected(1)=.t.

Must be some other cause to why I get that pesky message.
