I don't want to get argumentative here; I hoping that the agreed purpose is discussion and exchange of information. But I have to say, I hate this kind of code, and every time I'm called in to do a job on some previous version, pretty much the second thing I do is search for any rowsources that begin with the word "SELECT", then open them and then save them to named queries I also hate the citation of a specific form and field on said form, because that renders the code strictly local, when in actuality you might to re-use that query in several places (other forms or subforms, other queries, various reports, etc.) So my initial suggestion would be to replace the SELECT statement with a named query, and instead of using a reference to a specific form create some static functions that return the desired value(s) whether or not the form is open. That frees you up to set the static values and then run the queries from the immediate window, so you can debug them effectively. The previous responses have also included good ideas about column width and column count.
