These are Dropdown Lists so the values are in the Choices property of the
control.
The thing is that the values that show up as the Value of each control when I
call
new() is the correct default value. To get that Value into the control the
correct value
is selected from the Choices list. The default value is not the first item in
the list either
by position or alphabetically, so it is not a case of displaying the first
value. I will have
to more digging to figure this out. I have to run right now so it will have to
wait until
tonight.
