>Hi all,
> I have been trying to get a value to show in a combo box when a form comes up. It doesn't. Is there a way to make a value appear in a combo box from a view? The value I want to display may or may not be in the combo box list.

Is the combo bound to a controlsource? If it is, it's setting the DisplayValue to whatever the value of the controlsource is.

Otherwise, you can use DisplayValue if the item is in the list. However, if the value you want is not in the list, you can't display it unless the combo has focus, and it is a combo-style combo (not a list style combo).

Can you add it to the list?
