Robert,

1) If your are binding your CComboBoxL to a view, just fill in the field in the blank record with the desired value.

In my CComboxl (Similar to the CStateComboboxl) control I placed a label to the right of the drop down inside the container to hold the long name of the the code (for example, Virginia for code VA). Using the Combox InteractiveChange Event I can place the code long name in the label when the code changes. However, when the page displays initially the long name is blank or may contain the long name from the previous code. How can I get current the long name to display when the Properties page displays? I've looked at PostReQueryHook, Init, and a few other events but nothing seems to work. Suggestions? What have I overlooked?
