Hi Mike.

>> You want to set your ControlSource to the field in a table or view you want to modify, then set BoundTo to .T. Then if you select a value of the list that value will be put in the control source. <<

You are mistaken here. You set BoundTo = .T. when the BoundColumn of the combo or list box is numeric. This is what tells the control to take the value from its List instead of its ListIndex.
