Interesting point. Yes the function is called from within a "With thisform", itself in the .Init() method. So a "With thisform" can be inherited then, do you think? Even though all methods are on the same hierarchical level, i.e. form level? Even when called from another method?

I don't recall ever reading this but maybe I've missed it.

Anyway, it's not a problem really - more a convenience! Trouble maybe in forward compat. e.g. the compiler got a lot tighter and meaner between v3 and v7. When I converted a proj. I discovered lots of places where a continuation line of LOCAL decl's had not been preceded by ";", but I'd got away with that in V3.

>>Can anyone see anything wrong with this code below? It's a whole method in itself. It works fine. That's the issue. Maybe I've missed something over the years but I always assumed, if you reference a container's objects, you have to reference the container first. Note there is no "With thisform" surrounding the code with .cboTables in it.

>(i.e. "inheriting" a WITH ThisForm)
