>(i.e.: customer number , name_of_customer). It has to be 1 field only (any one at that) that will be displayed in the combobox and you can bind any other field from the cursor to be the returned value of the control.

Do you mean when the combobox drop-down is not dropped?
Yes, I am confirming that's true, cannot have 2 columns in the text area of the combobox. (Unless you take Ed Rauh's sneaky approach of concantenating the fields together into the first field.)

If you mean in the drop-down, no, I am not confirming that.
You have to set the ColumnCount property to 2, and probably play with ColumnWidths property to get it to look like you want.
e.g.

DEFINE CLASS mycombo AS combobox

  BoundColumn = 2
  ColumnCount = 2
  ColumnWidths = "100,100"
  RowSourceType = 6

  PROCEDURE Init
    SELECT field1, field_to_display ;
      FROM mytable ;
      INTO CURSOR cu_RowSource
    
    this.RowSource = "cu_RowSource.field_to_display,field1"
  ENDPROC

ENDDEF
