Dian, thank you so much, I continue to be amazed at your solutions, there
is so much to learn and I will be spending alot of time exploring and
studying these over the next few weeks, as they really fit right in with
the type of documents and data I handle.  Thank you!  Cathy

> I didn't know you could make a 2
column combo in Word,

Yup. Check this specific link below and you'll see a referral update
dialog.
Granted, I'm using a listbox, but it is populated with data from a DB query
result...and you'll see there are cols. One for the checkbox, an ID, a
product and something else I can't remember.

There are other examples, but being grayed out for client security, it's
hard to tell. But it's a good way to add several pieced of info so the user
can view the correct entry...when selected, you pick up the Record Num of
the selection. Then you can requery a new RS on that ID to get more
complete
data on that record, if needed.
