Value and DisplayValue are different only if your ListBox or ComboBox is bound to a different column of data than the one being displayed. When this is the case, Value refers to the bound value, and DisplayValue refers to the displayed value.

So, for instance, if you create a ComboBox (MyCombo) with RowSourceType = 6-Fields, and RowSource = "MyCursor.Name, Customer_Id", and BoundColumn = 2, then "MyCombo.Value" will return Customer_Id, and "MyCombo.DisplayValue" will return Name. Note that any numeric data is converted to string format.
