If I change the BoundTo to .F. after the initial Combo.Requery, the display is correct. I shouldn't have to switch the BoundTo property on and off programmatically, should I.

>>If you want to use an integer as the controlsource for a combo, you must set the BoundTo property to .T. or else the combo uses its ListIndex instead of the value of the boundcolumn for the inteer value.
