combo box - showing a default value

[lminmei]

I want to create a combo box in visual basic that shows the first value in a list as the default selected value

how do i do this? please help [sig][/sig]

What-ho!

try this:

Me.Combo1.Text = Me.Combo1.List(0)

Make sure the ComboBox list is populated first


Cheerio,

Or you could use

combo1.listindex=0

(but like the previous method, check that the list is populated - if combo1.listcount>0 then ...)

What if what I want to set it to isn't necessarily the first row in the list (0)... I want my dynamically filled list to point to a specific item, the one that is used to most often.

Then you'll have to determine which list item is used most often. After that, you can move that item to the top (0), or hard code its position in the list when you set its ListIndex. Difference between a madman and a genius:
A madman uses his genius destructively,
A genius uses his madness constructively.

If I move the name of a DSN, will the DSN still be attached??? I am using the Wizard made ODBC Logon, and my app uses a specifically name DSN

How would I move that up? ****************
