What's interesting is that if I set the DisplayValue and Value properties to "N" on the property sheet nothing will show in my combobox. BUT...if I set those same properties through code (as you show below) the value shows up just fine. BUG?

>>When I put a something in the Value property of a combobox, nothing displays on the screen for that combobox. Whereas, if I put something in DisplayValue something will display. If I put a value in both, nothing will display. I am sure I am doing something wrong, or forgetting to switch another property somewhere. What can I do to have a default value display on the screen as well as have something stored in the value property? I would prefer to do this on the property sheet and not hardcode it.
