Create a scratch form (modi form oform) and add a visual combo control (MyCombo). THen, run the form and enter the following code in the command window.
Assure your combo style is dropdownlist (2).

Lets add some items to combo:
oform.MyCombo.AddItem("ONE")
oform.MyCombo.AddItem("TWO")

If you click the down arrow on the combo, the list will show ONE and TWO.
Attempt to set the combos value with a string
oform.MyCombo.Value="TWO"
TWO would show in the combo's display field, and:
?oform.MyCombo.ListIndex
would return 2 (the second item in combo)

The listindex for oform.MyCombo.Value="THREE", would be 0, because "THREE" is not in the list.

You could also loop through each listindex item. There are samples in HELP. If you use the value assignment method, be sure to PAD for the actual lenght of the "lookup" field.
