What are you saying Charlotte? Is it no longer required to write a new callback for every combo. John W.

This was built in and for Access 2000, which is why everything is unbound.

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.
