Hi Michael is the BoundTo property of the combo set to .t.

>Hi All,

>I have a combobox that is populated by an array. 2 columns. Employee name & number. The combobox is bound to the 2nd column. the array is ordered by the employee names. So the numeric 2nd column is not in sequential order. Everything has been going well until someone decided that there should be an internal number -1. When I select that employee there is code in the valid event to retrieve the required data. The last line in the event is a form.refresh. When the refresh is finished. all other controls on the form display the correct data. But the combobox no longer displays the employee's name. The combobox.value has not changed. Neither has the value of the controlsource. But the combobox.listitemid has. What happened?
