My values in the combo/array are "01", "02", "03", etc. They are all two character text fields. The OLDVAL returne a numeric 1, 2, 3. Why does it do that? Is it returning the value or the position in the array?

>>Is there any easy way to know that the value of the combo has changed? In the VALID this.controlsource = this.value = this.displayvalue. What other property or method can I use to know it has changed value?
