I have a text box next to a combo (set at drop-down list)

The Text box displays the PK of a record and the combo is supposed to display the record description field.

If I select a combobox item it displays OK and the assoc PK displays in the textbox.

BUT, on invokation of the form I cannot get any value to diaply in the combo - it's just blank.

I've tried just about every perm. of .displayitem, ,.value, .Boundcolumn, .bound, etc., etc. but nowt works.

Worse is I've a similar text box/combo combination on another form and though I've mirrored its settings I still can't geyt it to cough up. What gives? Any suggestions?

'ppreciate it.
