>I have a series of Comboboxes that I want to contain 2 columns. The 1st column is a 1 or 2 character code that is used in the table and our DOS user's enter easily from habit. What our designer wants is to display the associated text (column 2) in a label beside the control. If the user makes an entry, the valid event fires and updates the label. However, when the user is pressing the "NEXT" toolbutton, the control updates, but I can't find an event that fires to update the label. I read in Hacker's Guide that the ProgramaticChange event fires when Displayvalue or Value is changed via code. That must mean my code because by simply moving the record pointer in the associated view doesn't fire any event that I can see. Do I understand this behavior correctly?

You can refresh the label from the combo.refresh. I've done it several times, and as the navigational button moves the record pointer, all the bound controls automatically refresh - and that's where I update the unbound controls (and labels) from.
