Perhaps I wasn't sufficiently clear in my first post. Let me add a little more (since as I understand it, the ListItemID isn't the key here).

The dropdown's RowSource is the customer info table and the RowSourceType is 6 (a list of fields - specifically, it has 2 columns: CustNo and CustName). I can select the CustNo with the dropdown, and it then fills the text boxes (CustName, CustAddr, etc) with no problem.

I also have cmdbtns "Next" (which has a ClickEvent of skip 1) and "Previous" (ClickEvent is skip -1. When I use either of the buttons, the text fields are refreshed with the next or previous records information. But the CustNo that appears in the dropdown does NOT refresh. I have even tried addin ThisForm.Combo2.refresh to the cmdbtns click event.

With puzzled regards,
