Was a zero value being placed into the field? I recently found that to be a problem with the combo box. It shifted records around, as displayed in the combo on the form. The actual values in the table were not changed in the other records, but the combo displayed incorrectly. When I changed the record with the zero, everything was good in the world again. :) I don't know why this happens, maybe it's a bug...or undocumented feature!
