The .DisplayValue property actually is the source of what you see displayed in the comboBox. Usually, the displayValue and value would be equivelent. Hint: a difference in the two is how you know the user entered a new value for the a combo drop down style combobox.

What style _are_ you using, btw? DropDown List?

If you're using 5.0 and set BoundTo = .T. to make the value connected to the return value and not the index value.

>I used the One to Many Wizard to create a form. After it built the form I replaced some of the TextEdit Boxes with ComboBoxes(which will be more appropriate for my form). When I add a record though, the ComboBox will not update with the new Name. I have to select the newname from the ComboBox list. Everything functions normally from there.
