I hate it when I search for something in the knowledge base (like this) and it DOES NOT SHOW UP :( - (i used only two words "negative" and "combobox" - and I thought I tried it with just "combo" too).

The only problem is - I'm not trying to display the negative value, I have two columns in the list. But I guess with the bound column returning a negative value ...

Oh - well - that messes up what I had planned (-1 for old system converted lookup code).

Thanks,
James
