OK. I've just checked what I did in a very similar situation. I have an extra column to take the description field.
In the interactivechange() of the combo I have:

With This.Parent.Parent.Column3.Text1  && where column3 is the text field to hold the desc
  .Value		= This.List( This.ListIndex, 2)
  .Refresh()
EndWith

Can't remember the reasons. I did want to show both the code AND the description in the grid. Maybe I came up against the same problem
