What I usually do is set .ColumnCount = 1, but I specify two columns in the RowSource. This will make the second column invisible.
BoundColumn would be this second, invisible, column. In your example, column1 would be "14-Iowa", column2, "14". The second column is saved in the current table.
HTH, Hilmar.
