Try setting the displayvalue = value in the init. You should not have to do this but this has worked for me in the past.

>Thanks for responding Dave. I have tried calling both methods, but nothing seems to work. It displays properly if the boundto is set to .f., but then the incorrect value is saved (the row number, not the data value). This is getting frustrating!

>>>I'm a bit stumped. I have three comboboxes that are bound to integer fields in a table. The rowsource is a query on a lookup table. The query pulls back a description and an id (integer). The bound column is set to 2, and the boundto property is set to .t. Everything saves the way it's supposed to, but when the form is loaded the values are not displayed. When the user clicks on the control the correct row is selected, but I can't seem to get things to display properly when things are initialized. Any clues? This is probably really simple, but at the moment it's beyond me.
