>Thanks for your help. I just my last question is when you populate a combobox with a series of values (with either fields or alias), they automatically get assigned a sequential number? How to you match that number with the actual value in the first field. My lookup screen does not necesarrily know which sequantial number to use, but I assume there must be some lookup command to lookup a data element in the list?

The ListIndex Property should return the position in the combobox.

- To solve your problem, try one of these:
THISFORM.myComboBox.Value = "value returned from second form"
or
REPLACE ordnum WITH "value returned from second form" IN chgorders
You may need to follow either with:
THISFORM.myComboBox.Refresh().
