John,

This is just the way cbos work in VFP3. It was fixed in VFP5 with the addition of the BoundTo property. The cbo ControlSource will be assigned the ListIndex property if the BoundColumn is numeric. You can work around this with a little code in the Valid

>I have a combo that has a 2 column array as it's rowsource. The first column of the array is a description of column 2. I want the description do be displayed in the combo and I want column 2 to be bound to the control source.
>This works in 6.0
