Well, I hit send too soon. I see it as a property of the me object in code. That solves my problem I guess. It doesn't appear to be available at design time but I can program it no problem. Next question, how do I do the same thing for a combo? If a combo is filtered on another combo, the second combo is based on a stored procedure that has an input parameter so that it can filter down based on something passed in. The "something passed in" is the value of another control. John W.
