Brenda,
Try reversing the columns so the field you want to see is in the first column and the ID value is in the second column. Be sure to set BoundColumn=2 when you do that. To see only the display values, set ColumnCOunt to 2 but set ColumnWidths to 100,0 (your choice for the width of the first column, of course).

>I have a 2 column combobox whose RecordSourceType is a two dimensional array. When I drop down the box everything is OK. Then when I tab off the field (it is in a grid), the IndexValue is displayed, not the selected value from the array. BoundColumn = 1.
