I thought I had combos well in hand, but...

I have a combo, AgencyChoice on a form, w/the following properties set:

BoundColumn = 2
BoundTo = .T.
ColumnCount = 1
ControlSource = (none)
RowSource = SELECT description, code from agencydefs into cursor cTempAgencyDefs order by description
RowSourceType = 3 - SQL Statement
Style = Dropdown List
Value = 0

Agencydefs.Code is an integer field

With these settings, AgencyChoice.Value is an integer.

If I change ControlSource to IncomingCases.AgencyCode (AN INTEGER FIELD), AgencyChoice.Value becomes a numeric value with 2 decimal places.

Can anyone tell me why? or help me make it be an integer?

This has been driving me nuts for a long time now...I've tried to set THis.Value =INT( This.Value ) in various places to get it to be an integer, but cannot get it to stay an integer (I need this, to compare it w/an integer constant).

Please help! TIA, J
