Hi Joe,

Those settings are working for me in my quick test. 
Does the SQL statement you have in the RowSource work in code?

As a test I built a cursor with the days of the week in it in the Load event
of a form.
    CREATE CURSOR ComboBoxData (id i, displaytext c(30))
I set the ComboBox.RowSource to 
    select displaytext from comboboxdata into cursor t1
and set the ComboBox.RowSourceType = 3 && SQL statement

To be consistent with your select statement I added the "distinct" clause
and it still works.

I tested in VFP 9 SP2 Hotfix 3

HTH,
Tracy

Subject: Form designer rules?

I want to use an sql select statement as the row source for a combo box..

   -  When I set the row source type to 3-SQL and enter the row source as
   "select space distinct from map into cursor T1" attempting to run the
form
   results in "Program error Unrecognized command verb"
   - If I set the row source type to 2-Alias and the row source to T1 and
   put the SQL select statement into the init method of the control the
Combo
   box populates properly.

I would have expected that the system would be smart enough to run the SQl
statement before trying to use it's output.  Is there something else I need
to call perhaps in the form init method?

Thanks in advance,

Joe
