Let me give an example : I have 3 kinds of clients, a person, a firm and a foreign client. In the first 2 types the country in the combobox is automatically changed to BR (Brasil) and in the latter, the user can select all the countries except Brasil. When the country is US and the user select BR, I return an error message and .F. from the valid event, but I want to change the value back to US. How to do it since OldVal() is BR ?

>Regards,

Try creating a numeric property to contain combobox.ListItemID in gotfocus. In valid, before returning .F., issue combobox.ListItemID=THISFORM.nProperty - I don't know if this will actually work, but it should in theory.
