Kirk,
BoundTo = .F. should work. I use VFP7 or VFP6SP4. I initially declare gnViewDept in Init of the form as public variable with 1 value and it works seamless.
>I have a combo box with the following:
>
>
>BoundColumn=2
>BoundTo=.t.
>ControlSource = gnViewDept
>RowSource=v_userDepts.deptdesc,deptid
>RowSourceType=6-Fields
>
>

>My problem is that when the form load, the combo box shows the department name based off gnViewDept. But when I use the combo to change the departments, the displayvalue goes blank. gnViewDept is updated to reflect the newly selected department, and the control when I click on it shows all the departments, but after the drop-down closes, nothing is displayed. If I change BoundTo to False, the control maintains it display value, but gnViewDept doesn't get updated.

>Thanks for any and all help
