Filling a combo box from another form 1

[russ3ell]

I have an unbound combo box (two columns, widths 3cm;0cm) and when I set the value from another form it is not displayed even though I can read the value

TGHe problem occurs when you have 'allow additions' set to no, when the form is bound and when there are no records. The solution I've come up with is to test if the form has any records and if not then turn off the display of the bound fields and switch of the recordsource for the form. Then when a record is added, bind the form again and display all the fields. Messy, but it works
