I'm using VFP5. I did try the BoundTo = .T. but as I said above nothing shows in the combo.
When I set BoundTo to .T. the following happens:

If the combo is closed, the textbox part of the combo appears empty.
If I use the arrow keys to navigate, nothing happens.
If I open the combo with the mouse I can see all the values and if I choose one I'll get the correct value in MyCombo.VALUE, but once the combo closes it shows nothing.

BoundTo seems to be the answer, if I could just find out why the above behavior is taking place.
Any idea what's causing that?

Thanks!
