>ROFL... I love you guys!! Haven't visited that form in years! Thanks very much, I would have spent days on that prob too. Now, why I have your attention, this thing with the KEYBOARD '{F4}' in GetFocus is driving me nuts. What is a workaround to get the combobox choice list to drop down on entry without it? Evidently it fires too early, causing the list to not sync witht the DisplayValue. BTW, the list is driven by RowSourceType = 3-SQL Statement. If I can get this thing to work, I'll have the sexiest MM custom incremental search control around. Any ideas?

If it's not an MM specific thing :

*Gotfocus
lcDisplayValue = this.DisplayValue
this.Requery()
select ('CursornameUsedInRowSourceHere')
locate for WhateverColumnUsedForDisplayValue = m.lcDisplayValue
this.ListIndex = recno()
keyboard '{F4}'
