Sorry, I would like to correct my first email. My RowSource is taken from a field in a view. I followed what you told me display its value by eval(). It was able to display the value of the record where my record pointer is. I think it's fine. I am using 2 columns in my combobox but I am only displaying the 1st field.

Bound Column 2
Column Count 2
Bound (checked)

My ControlSource however is not a field but a global variable that will store the returned value of the 2nd column of my combobox. What is the problem in setting the controlsource in this way? I tried not to have any ControlSource at first but I cannot choose any value in my combobox when it was drop-down. It seems that using a combobox is harder to use than I thought.

Thanks a lot again.
