help with combo box Restritions

[Bigthinkor]

Hello everyone
I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. I certainly enjoy having the time off to enjoy some of the things I love to do. One of my most current task.
I have a combo box with a drop-down list of all my forms. Some of my forms have sub forms which are okay, but I do not want the sub forms showing up by themselves, how do I restrict certain forms from the list?

wow, good question.

how are you generating the list? through a systems table query or VBA collection?? it might help to know that.

Subforms have the same ''type'' number in the systems table, because they are become "subforms" in the eyes of a human when they are embedded into other objects. They are always forms in the program's eye.

I would assume the easiest way to do this would be to store a list of your forms that are serving as subforms somewhere in your app and exclude them from the sql that is providing the combo.
