setting datacombo selecteditem

[judyscofield]

I have a datacombo box on a form called dacrules. When stepping through my code, I can see the .selecteditem property. For example it may show 2. I want to set it to, say, 3. When I code
dacrules.selecteditem = 3
I get an error, Object Required.

What's wrong with my code??

Thanks

Hi Judy,
When you say, "Data Combobox", I hope you're talking about a normal ComboBox. A combobox control has a property (that also acts as a method) called listindex. You may set the listindex of a combobox with the code: ComboBox1.Listindex = 4. This code would display the 5th item in that combobox (as the items start at 0). You may use it as a property with the code: Variable = ComboxBox1.ListIndex.

I hope this solves your problem...

I'm not sure, I've never encountered a data combo box; is it a normal control or a custom control?
