That's not necessary, to write a function for each control. One of the arguments of that control is the control itself. So you could create one function, in a module, that would be your 'global' callback function. What I would recommend would be to create a class that would handle recordset objects, and in your callback function pull the appropriate recordset from that class based on the control argument that is passed to the callback function.

That just doesn't work when you want to implement this easily and automatically system wide - five hundred different combos. John W.

When I go out and look, I am running into methods that build up a string and the row source type is set to value list. That is a rather useless solution in the majority of cases since the max limit of characters in the list is around 2000. Is it in fact possible to make the rowsource an ADO recordset or am I delusional? If possible, how is it done? Example code would be nice. John W.
