>>I am wondering what is the best approach to take when we have a listbox of type 1 - Value where we enter our own values in RowSourceType property. It's not like a listbox of type 3 - SQL where we can bound the control source to field on BoundColumn 2. Basically, what is the best approach to bound the control source when entering the values manually at the form designer level?

It matters as the values entered manually are not the values which goes in the table. In a listbox of type 3 - SQL, where we could have SELECT DESCRIPTION,PRIMARYKEY FROM PIVOT ORDER BY 1 INTO CURSOR TEMP, we can have a BoundColumn to 2. So, the PrimaryKey value will be saved.

When entering the values manually, such as MyValue1,MyValue2 with a listbox of type 1 - Value, there is no direct approach of having an automatic relationship with the value we would save. For example, we have a full description 1 and a full description 2. But, we only save a small description 1 and a small description 2.
