I would imagine that you are doing something like displaying a code with a description. What you can do is set the boundcolumn to whichever column you want to store in the variable or table. You can then display 1 or both of the columns in the combo.

>When the list drops down, both columns are showing fine.
>On selection, only the first column shows in the display. If I can't display both columns, I need the second to display, not the first.
