Are you doing doAutoFill in the page-level onBeforeDisplay or the field-level onBeforeDisplay If page-level, I don't know what to suggest. If field-level, you might be rebuilding the combobox after default 'select' processing has occurred. In this case, I would try doing a manual 'select' on the combobox, using the field value as the argument. -- Curt Springer, Team ND At 12:17 PM 7/19/99 -0400, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >I've got an old app that I thought was working right but I just noticed that >it isn't... > >It's a maintenance app for a directory.
