>Sorry if this is a novice question, but this is giving me fits. I have a combo box control on my form. I want the inital value of the combo box to be the underlying value of the field behind the box. I then want the user to have a pre-determined set of choices to change the value to. I am having problems displaying the value of the field in the combo box initially and I also want the choice of the user to be saved as the new value of the field.

If I chose archive, it replaces 'cancelled' with 'archive' in record 2.

Try setting the value property to 1.
