No, if it were the runtime installation (which is AXP SP3, BTW), we'd have problems on all the installations at that client. It's only turning up on some of the Win2k machines, not all. Even then, it doesn't make sense that it would display properly when you selected a well from the combobox on the form but not when you selected a well from another form and passed the value back, since that calls exactly the same AfterUpdate event for the Well combobox that making a direct selection calls. Furthermore, it ONLY breaks after opening the second form and choosing a well from there. We can't reproduce it in our office at all, but one of our owners saw it in action at the client location.

Are you testing with a true runtime or using the /runtime parameter in the command line when testing on your end?

The client is in Oklahoma and using a runtime executable, so there isn't any printing to the immediate window. The fact that the dates appear if we remove the Format function from the rowsource strongly suggests that the dates are there but that something is interfering in rendering them.

What about changing the resource to a view or sproc that formats the number for you?

We have not been able to reproduce the behavior here even on Win2k, so I need some ideas. The back end is SQL Server 2000 and the combobox has this for a rowsource: SELECT ReportNo, ReportNo as [Number], Format(ReportDate, "dd-mmm-yy") FROM DailyDrillHdr WHERE ((DailyDrillHdr.WellID=[Forms]![frmDailyRpt]![cboWellID])) Order by ReportNo desc; This works fine when the form opens and a WellID is selected. It breaks when the user brings up a popup form that allows them to select a different WellID and hand that back to the initial form. The initial form obligingly changes the WellID in its Well combobox, which repopulates the subform, and it specifically requeries the report number combobox in the AfterUpdate event of the WellID combobox. At this point, however, on those problem machines, the date column of the report number combo is blank and it doesn't show dates again until the form is closed and reopened. The combobox is being requeried, because the correct report numbers do show up in it, but not the dates associated with them. The really odd part is that if you take the formatting out of the combobox rowsource, the dates show up every time. Has anyone else seen something like this? I know I have, but it's been years ago and I can't remember what caused it!
