Good one Razzak!! I note that the persons email address is "hope@". Maybe the person just want's to remain anonymous. It would be nice to use a name :).

Do you have a real name or shall we refer to you as "Center for Vocational Building Technology"? In your specific situation, you will need to use an expression to specify the exact width of all involved columns in a multi-column Variable Lookup ComboBox. Example: ((LJS(LastName,16))&(LJS(Address,20))&(LJS(City,16))&(CTXT(BirthDate))) Using such approach, make sure that you are using the mono-spaced font such as: Font: Courier New Font Style: Regular Size: 8 For more example, take a look at the forms included with Running R:BASE Your Way! (Part 14). You may also find more examples at From The Edge: Sample Applications: http://www.razzak.com/sampleapplications/ Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
