>>Just a quickie. Brain gone numb today. I rarely have the source of a combo as a value list. Now I have one with just 3 values to choose from. I have the form defaulting to value 1 and I want that text to appear in the combo, but all I get is blank. I've set the combo's .value to List(1) but no joy.

Thanks Fabio.

Like I said, I've got round it in code but I think that prop's should suffice.
