Try setting DisplayValue property of the Combo with your desired value. I beleive it must exist in the drop-down selection set, though...

>I am trying to set a combobox.value to a value which is looked up and returned from another table. I would like it to be displayed on the screen automatically, instead of it being empty.

>For example, in the Sales Order file I have a field named "cBillToID".
>Upon loading any sale order (previously entered), I would like to lookup that "cBillToid" field in the "CUSTOMER_BILLTO" table and return and display the returned "cCode" in the combobox (value) named "cboBillToCode" on the saleorder form.

>My problem is that upon loading any sales order my combo box (default value) is empty.

>I attempt the same thing to return the "cName" into a text field on the Sales Order form it works great. Is there a diffence with "text" fields and "combo" boxes in storing a value?
