Hi Ellen.

>> I'm using a combo box on a form for the user to select a value for a field. That works but when I go back to look at the form the combo box is there. What do I do to get the selected value to show instead of the combo box? Or is the combo box the wrong thing to use? <<

Do you have the ControlSource set to the field in the table you are updating? Also, if the field you are updating is numeric (ie, bound column of combo contains a numeric value) make sure that the combo's BounsTo property is set to true.
