Can anyone point me to some code in Help or elsewhere which will give me a
start on how to add an object to a form?
THISFORM.AddObject
You might want to look at using a GRID for this. You can put a combobox in a
grid.
Where should I put the code on the form - Init?
Have the form.init call form.mycustommethod, and maintain your code there.
(events should always call methods methodology)
Each combobox will use the same array or cursor of standard field names -
can I use an array property of the form?
Yes
THISFORM.AddProperty("ArrayProperty[1]")
combobox.RowSource = "THISFORM.ArrayProperty"

I have always created my forms at design time using the Form Designer. I
now need to create and populate a form on the fly with an unknown number of
labels and comboboxes. The app will be importing a text file with a header
row showing the fields in the file. There may be any number of fields (up
to say 30) and they may be in any order. I need to display each field with
an associated combobox containing a list of standard field names to allow
the user to match the fields in the header with those in the standard list.
I haven't a clue where to start <g>. I am proposing to create a form in the
Form Designer initially with a title and buttons then add the rest with code
at run time. Can anyone point me to some code in Help or elsewhere which
will give me a start on how to add an object to a form? Where should I put
the code on the form - Init? Each combobox will use the same array or
cursor of standard field names - can I use an array property of the form?
TIA
