>> SELECT cbranch_name, branch FROM branches ORDER BY cBranch_name INTO CURSOR cBranchList

For example if I go to this form and I belong to a branch named
"Miami" then when I append a record I want to default the combobox to display "Miami". <<

Assuming that your combo's ControlSource is set up as MyTRable.Branch, just set up the combo with its BoundColumn = 2. If it is a bound control, it will display the value in the underlying data source after you refresh the form.
