Hi,
I have read a lot about the issue. The problem is that when you have one combo box (cbo1) filtering another one (cbo2) on a continuous form, making a change on row2 will affect what appears in row1 cbo2 (even if the record on in the table is not affected.

What I don't understand is why when the primary key is selected in cbo2 the problem does not trigger.

E.g.: My cbo2 has 4 columns (itemID, itemName, CategoryID and BrandName):
- If set column width to 3,3,3,3, the problem does not trigger but I only see numbers in my cbo2
- if I set column width to 0,3,0,0, the name appear in cbo2 but then the problem triggers and these names start appearing and disappearing as I select combo boxes on different rows.

Any expert to explain why?
 
Thanks for the link... That was the missing piece...
Which method do you feel is better? Roger's method or the overlaying text box method?
