If you want to show in the text protion something that is not in list portion, then you should use Combo.DisplayValue property:
Combo.DisplayValue='mycity'
If you're sure that the value is in the list, then make sure that entries in rowsource and your value have the same length, i.e. everything is trimmed/padded properly.
