Hi Eric.

>> Is it me who didn't quite understand or the way i explained it ?!? In fact, what I want is to "force" a value in a combo box, as a display value. Example: My combo box's row source type is at "Fields" (like I said before) and I know that my combo contains a new value that we'll call "TOTO". 'Cause my combo is not set at "Value" (in this last case, we can easily say: Combobox.Value = "TOTO"), how can I say to it: "Display me TOTO" ? I thought I would see a property like "Combobox.Set" or "Combobox.Select", but it doesn't exist. To resume, how "force" a combobox to display a value that we know he has? Thanks for your patience! :o) <<

As Barbara said, if you have set a ControlSource for the combo, the combo will automatically display that is it is contained in its RowSource. If the item to which the control is bound is not in its RowSource (i.e., someone typed in a value not in the list in a combo with style = 0), you have to take action to add it to the RowSource with code similar to this in its Valid:

WITH This
 IF .ListIndex = 0 AND NOT EMPTY( .DisplayValue )
    *** Update the table used as the RowSource with the new value
    INSERT INTO < Table used in RowSource > ( < Field displayed > ) ;
      VALUES ( .DisplayValue )
    .Requery()
 ENDIF
ENDWITH

IF your combo is unbound and there is an index tag on the table used
as its RowSource, you can just SEEK the value you want in the RowSource and Refresh the combo.
