Hi there,
I am having a problem with my subform.
I have a combo box at the top of my form to choose a certain criteria.
In the subform, the criteria is showing up, except for one field isn't
showing up, and thats the Country field. It just so happens that this field
is a combo box. Not sure why that matters but if I change it to a text field
then it displays correctly.
I want it a combo box because when the user adds a new record I want them to
choose it from the combo box.
Thanksi in advance!

That implies that the subform combo box's RowSource,
BoundCloumn and/or ColumnWidths properties are not set
appropriately. They should probably be set the same as the
main form's combo box.
