Jennifer, Have you tried creating a new control? Sometimes when I copy from an existing form I get weird results.

Still getting the same result – when the code goes to get the value it only picks up this vertical line character.

TEXTVALUE does not work on DB combo boxes. You need to trick it by placing a DBEdit assigned to the same column to use a GETPROPERTY on.

The variable is picking up something, but it isn’t the value of what is selected in the combo box. Could I have a setting wrong?

Otherwise the variable will not be calculated until you exit the combo box. (I'm guessing you have the getproperty command in the on-click eep?)
