>I have five comboboxes based on my class "cbocombopopup". I want to use the Right-Click method of this class to popup another form that has a grid with my "metadata" table as the record source. I want to filter the table according to which subclassed combobox the user right clicks on. Why does this work in the Right-Click method of my Class, the name of the subclassed combobox is "cboRef":

Elgin,

The case of the name property may be the problem.

did you try

&& to trace it
acti screen
?This.Parent.Name

IF( lower(This.Parent.Name) == lower("frmQuoteNum") )

I would rather add a property which holds the filter expression. Don't like to use the Name for filter expressions
