>>>>My COMBO BOX members are coming from a table. When I select a member from the COMBO BOX and if it is more than 5 characters long, it will not show up in the value area of the COMBO BOX. If the COMBO BOX member is 5 characters long or less, than it does show up. In either case, the selected member from the COMBO BOX is inserted into the TABLE. How can I fix this?

that's right - I can not see my selection if it is longer that 5 char, but the
4 other combos I have on the form work just fine.
