I do this all the time without trouble using the technique you describe (assigning a value directly to the variable). Actually, I do it with variable lookup list boxes, but since the controls are the same internally I assume it will work for combo boxes as well. You must remember the following: 1. The value you assign must match the returned key value for the combo box. So if the displayed value is "United States" but the returned value is "US" or 1 (if you use numerical country codes, set the variable to "US" or 1 correspondingly. 2. If you assign a value to the variable which is _not_ found in the list of key values in the combo box, no value will be shown. The variable still has the value, but no matching info is available to display. 3. If you change the value of the variable in an EEP (for instance ON AFTER START) you will probably need to call RECALC VARIABLES to get the combo box to update. -- Larry
