I would think that if you ever get a CHR(0) in your generated value then much merriment will also ensue... ;-) I'd also think that you want to disallow the \ anywhere in the value to avoid any standard combo behavior.

Here's how I populate the cbo in the Init event: this.Clear SELECT curJobTypes SCAN this.AddItem(ALLTRIM(curJobTypes.cJobType)) this.AddListItem(curJobTypes.cID,this.NewItemId,2) ENDSCAN ADDPROPERTY(this,'cOrigValue','') So when I SET STEP ON and traced in, I could see it add the cryptic keys (cID field) in as expected; however, when the user chose that option in the dropdown, the cbo.value wasn't the full cryptic key. Changing the \ to _ fixed it. So technically, I guess it wasn't the full \0 but perhaps the \, but since that's how escape characters are built and \0 is null iirc, I concluded that I'll just regenerate the key if leading with a \. --Mike _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/DF1EEF11E586A64FB54A97F22A8BD044239A8068BE@ACKBWDDQH1.artfact.local ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
