This.cmbBox.Value = This.cmbBox.List(1)

>I have a cmbBox that contains a list of dates. In the activate event of the form I put This.cmbBox.Value = DTOC(date()) to make the combo box show the first value. (the current date is always the first value). This works fine when I run the form from the command window -- Do Form myForm, but not when it is called by another form. To simplify I made a prg that has one line: DO FORM myForm. When I run the prg from the command window, the combobox remains blank, yet if I type DO FORM myForm directly into the command window the combobox displays the date. Any ideas where I'm going wrong here. There is probably a much simpler way to get the combo to display the first item. Thanks for you input.
