Hello Angie.

I am having a problem with a list. I have tried to have the dropdown list react to a control source value of -1. I have built the list using Addlistitem(), and at the end of the list of values, specified a value of 'FREE TEXT' for column 1 in the list and in column 2, the string value of '-1'. Column 2 is the "boundcolumn" and "boundto" = .T.

You do not say which version of VFP you are using, but as I recall there used to be a bug associated with binding combo boxes to negative numbers - it was exactly as you are describing: the DisplayValue would be blank.

The bug was fixed in either VFP version 7 or VFP version 8 - I do not remember which.
