Thanks Dave, I will look into that.

I was looking for a "magic word" or talisman. Whatever it takes to get
a basic combo box to work. Nothing. No Control tab and no Format
Object window. I finally ran across a link by a guy that did the same
thing I was doing. I was inserting the combo box from the Controls
Toolbar which does not work. Now, I use the combo box from the Forms
Toolbar and it works. Finally! It's Alive! Thank god for 7 year old
forum postings.
