[AccessD] Strange Filter By Form Problem.

Hi Rocky:

No, they are simply bound comboboxes ... they display the text from the
related table, but the ID from the related table is bound. Hmmm ... but the
name of the controlsource is the same as the field (EX: field=facid,
combobox name= facid).

Could this be an issue?

Thanks!
