James,
I've found it much safer to reset the displayvalue whenever I repopulate a listbox. I include this command right after the Requery() which is also needed.

The SQL command is done programmatically at a later stage in the application. My question is this: if I populate the combo box later on, does it wipe out the value of displayvalue?
