If you read the help file about the NewIndex property, you will discover that this property returns the index of the last item you have added to combo. What you need is the ItemData property. See the help for an example of how to use it.


>Hi All:
>I have a combo box on my form, and its style is 2-drowdown List. How can I set its newindex or index value to the record ID from my record set. This is what I am trying to do:

>oRecData.Open "SELECT Location_Name,Location_ID FROM Locations", oDataConn
>If oRecData.RecordCount > 0 Then
>For i = 1 To oRecData.RecordCount
>With cmboevebldg

>.AddItem oRecData.Fields("Location_Name")
>End With
>'combostate.AddItem RTrim(oRecState.Fields("state_Code"))
>oRecData.MoveNext
>Next i
>End If

>I get an error when I try to set the newindex. The error is "can not assign to read-only property" What do I need to do in order to assign a value to the index?
