You are quite correct. A LookUpCombo.OnChange is used to populate
some fields without any dataset checks. Remember, I'm converting
this old BDE based program to IBO to check the compatibility of
IBO as a 'drop in' for BDE. The way it is coded causes no problems
with BDE. Thus my original suggestion to add that one line of code
to make 'mimic' BDE stupidity and harmlessly enhance IBO as an BDE
drop in.

Best regards
Hans
