Drew, >On a serious note, do you have anything in specific that you don't understand how it's working? No. It is just complex enough that I had to dig in to what you are doing. The multiple levels of indirection with the sql statement (the table) took a little while to dig through. I wouldn't do it that way but I see what you are doing. I like to use saved queries where the name of the query is the controlname-form name. This allows me to build the queries as normal and then my control class loads the control's query. I can do some nice stuff that way like "only if there is nothing in the rowsource" and "if not found that way look for just the control name". qcboGroup-frmGroupUser qcboUser-frmGroupUser qcboState Things like that allow me flexibility at design time of the FE to load something like a state combo with the same generic query but load a group combo with a query specific to a form etc. and if the combo already has a query in the rowsource don't (re)load any query at all. I think I can still work that kind of logic into what you are doing. Thanks for taking the time to work that demo up. John W.

Sorry, was trying to get an example to you while putting out fires here at work, didn't have the time to put in comments. ;) Besides, I figured you just needed a point in the right direction! On a serious note, do you have anything in specific that you don't understand how it's working?

Of course I had to delete all the comments cause they were getting in the way of my understanding how it worked. ;-) John W.
