Defaulting To Previous choices

[mak2112]

I am trying to create a box that will use a pull down list for someone to select a choice. I want the value in the box to default to a previous pages choice. I thought I would be able to do this by saying value ="variablename" however this does not work. any ideas.

You usually have to display the combo box field after you have assigned the default value to it, in order for the value to be shown. eg.

assign cb_option = v_containingdefaultvalue.
display cb_option.

If the combo box is a list-item-pairs type, the value you are assigning must be the code, not the description.
