Here are some of the stats on this particular combo/dropdown list...

CONTROLSOURCE = orderview.commsol
ROUWSOURCE = commsolsview.solno,solname,solteam
BOUNDCOLUMN = 1

The value is getting set to "0056"
The commsolsview.solno does contain "0056"

After setting the value, I can make it appear properly simply by setting focus to the object. Then the value appears... Before I setfocus, no appearance of the recently set value, even with a refresh, and lockscreen=.f.

Thanks
