Raj,
You've created multiple threads for basically the same question. Your previous threads already have good replies. ie: As Sergey said you don't need to build complex looking strings and do a macro substitution, directly execute your query. Trying to create a string first only serve to make it more complex. Repeating here what Sergey already said :

set ansi off
select * from projects ;
  where proj = trim(thisform.combo1.value) ;
      and contract = trim(thisform.combo2.value) ;
  order by project_id into Cursor lcSource
