I did get this straightened out. I simply changed the order of the fields in my cursor, changed BoundColumn=1, and Reset DisplayValue to Default.

I usually use the builder for ComboBoxes, but being that the builder doesn't support RowSourceType of 2, I had to do this one by hand. A first I might add. The problem I usually have with these is when I need the ComboBox to display a value from a field other than the first. BoundColumn and ControlSource never seems to be a problem, but it's the display properties that get me...

Thank you, Ed.
