Hi Christian.

>> I assign a value to this combobox in the program, and this value exists in the table "MyTable", so this shouldn't be a problem,
but I can't see the value (combobox is blank). <<

How are the following properties set for the combo?

[1] ColumnCount

[2] BoundColumn

[3] ControlSource

If the combo is using RowSourceType 2-Alias, its RowSource can access all the fields in the record in their natural order. The first field in the record will be the combo's DisplayValue. (the combo always takes its DisplayValue from the first column of its RowSource). If the table that the combo is bound to takes its value from a different field in the lookuptable, you have to set the BoundColumn to that be that field in the lookup table (and if it is a numeric value set BoundTo to true).
