John, Lambert That's exactly what was happening - I thought the column count was just for displaying, not binding as well. Many thanks for all your help chaps!

Colby [mailto:jwcolby at colbyconsulting.com] Sent: 27 January 2005 17:13 To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: RE: [AccessD] RE: A2k2 combo boxes / rowsource hassles In order to be able to reference three columns in code, you must set column count to 3. If you don't want any given column displayed, set the width of that column to zero. If you only have column count = 2 then you can only reference two columns (0 and 1) in the cbo.column(x) syntax. It sounds like you have column count set to 2. John W.

I checked the query is valid, and it returns data for all 3 columns... Andy, John - many thanks also I'm not wanting the combo to display the three columns, just wanting to display one column and have associated data with that column (e.g. the other 2 columns) - the combo is displaying a friendly alias, but by using the .Columns(x) syntax I can (or can't, as the case is) get at the other info. Cheers! Hope this makes sense, BTW...
