however, when I move off the record it truncates the displayed value to 11 characters. It does store the correct IntSource but what I can't figure out is why thee TextSource for the display is truncating. Any ideas are appreciated.

Unless you need to add values to the combo on the fly, change the style to 2-DropDown List.

What you describe is a known issue with a combo in agrid with style=0-DropDown Combo
