Chris,

Does your combo box show the correct value? Also, combos generally show data as character data. Check (use the debugger or "wait windows") to see what the value of the combo is with both integer and decimal choices. Finally, save the value to a variable and see if it is correct.

You can use the debugger break points to see where the value changes from decimal to integer also.

>i have a combo box populated by a lookup table that has intger values and decimals. I need to drop each to a file at runtime. The integer value works fine but when I change the bound field to the decimal, the number placed in the file is the integer of the value, ie I am losing the decimals.
