Sergey,
I've tried that. The following seems to work in the activate but I want to just use the Activate

If ThisForm.lFirstTime
For Each oControl In Thisform.Controls
If Upper( AllTrim( oControl.Class ) ) == "COMBOBOX"
oControl.Selected[1] = .T.
EndIf
EndFor
ThisForm.lFirstTime = .F.
EndIf

It turns out the Value propert works after all. I must have set other properties which caused that to fail.
