Boy I don't know but I know too many kind of defeats the purpose of good GUI logic anyways&nbsp;&nbsp;:o&nbsp;&nbsp; <p>John Durbin<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>ICQ VFP ActiveList #73897253

There should be an easy answer, but I can't find one, not even in the VFP docs on system capacities.&nbsp;&nbsp;One theory is that there is no limitation.<br><br>I just tried both a list box and combo box using RowSourceType of Fields, using a table with over 4700 records.&nbsp;&nbsp;Worked just fine.<br><br>&quot;Array&quot; is one of the valid RowSourceTypes.&nbsp;&nbsp;Arrays are limited in VFP to 65,000 elements (not rows, but total elements), so if you used an array as the source, that would be a hard limit. <p>Robert Bradley<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= - Visual FoxPro Development</a><br>

Thanks for your answers....<br><br>John....<br>While it may be a defeat of the gui... the age old dictum... if the customer wants it and wants if badly... what' a programmer to do? <p>Tom Gahagan<br><a href=mailto:edrest@alltel.net>edrest@alltel.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>REST<br>

You're err the customer is right of course!&nbsp;&nbsp;Incremental Search helps some too.&nbsp;&nbsp;I did remeber seeing some thread regarding this and buggy behavior but forget the version of FoxPro that was used.&nbsp;&nbsp;As FoxDev was doing, there's one way to find out...try it.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm curious too to the technical limitation here.&nbsp;&nbsp;If I find out I'll post it. <p>John Durbin<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>ICQ VFP ActiveList #73897253
