Thanks so much for everyones help.  I think the problem was having single parenthesis around tid.  Here is the solution:function

COMBOBOX4_onChange()
           co = form.coins1.rowset
                co.locateoptions := 3
           tgrade = trim(form.combobox4.value)
                tid = trim(form.entryfield5.value)
                tcat= trim(form.combobox2.value)
                co.applylocate( "year= '" + tid + "' and category= '" + tcat + "'")
                form.entryfield1.value = val(co.fields["&tgrade."].value)
                return
