I have comboboxes and text boxes beside each combo box
which is used to store a long description from a lookup
table.

My base Combo class does a look up on the file and stores the long
description to the text box and displays it. I have this coded in
the Valid event and it is working fine when I select the combo box.

I would also like to display the long description, automatically
when the form is loaded for existing combo details.(Sometimes I wont
need to change the combo boxes but I still need to see the long
description beside them)

I dont know which class event to put the code into to get this type of
functionality. I tried the Init of the Combo Box, but this seems to fire
even before the Form is loaded. I think I need whatever event fires just
after the ControlSource of the Combo Box is actioned .
