>Yes it does point to 1, which is my key field. I would like the default to be "05". Currently the first entry is blank when the form starts, or refreshes.

If it points to 1 then this means you are showing the user the ID field instead of the logical value.

Usually, we have something like this

SELECT SUPPLIER_NAME,SUPPLIER_ID FROM SUPPLIER... in the RowSource

BoundColumn=2

ControlSource=SUPPLIER_ID

Maybe you can send us a SCX sample so we can check it.
