Hello Jean-Pierre,

Ran into this before as well. In a ComboBox the Value property returns the value if character but returns the row if numberic. To make the ComboBox return the numeric value set the BoundTo property of the ComboBox to .T. It will now return the identification number chosen. Be careful how you use the Value in code though because the number is returned as a string.

Happy Coding
