Drew, I pulled the entire thing out into a demo database, data tables, queries, classes and modules. Zipped and loaded onto my laptop (from the client) and guess what... the class is fast enough for large lists. The city combo works real time. I am a bit confused at this point, since I tested the city combo and it was taking 30 seconds to load / display / move way down the list. I remote desktop into the client over a slooooowwwww data link (384K MAXIMUM) and I have noticed that how fast the database operates is affected by the link speed, though I have never noticed a direct correlation like this. OTOH I went back in and created a city combo in my little demo database and it works just fine even when operated over the link at the client site. So I dunno. You are correct though, the code is fast enough even for a list of 10500 city names. Now I have to solve the question of "what happened earlier"? John W. Colby www.ColbyConsulting.com
