Nevermind, as I said I had looked at it too long. I was changing the value of the controlsource later and that was changing the display value of course! Sheesh! You'd think it was Friday... :o)

>I have a form array that is populated with afont. The array is used to populate a combobox. I want to position the combobox at "courier new" if courier new is found in the array. Following that, I display the font in a textbox. What is strange is that after running the code below, the textbox displays courier new font, but the listbox displays the first item in the list! Any ideas? I've looked at this too many times and I'm missing the obvious I'm sure....
