Setting the default value in a combo box

[Muddman]

I am having trouble setting the default value in my combo box. What I am trying to do is have a particular value in my list show up first when a form is opened. My list is being pulled from a table in the DB. I have tried writing an expression in the expression builder section of the combo box, but I am not having any luck.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

I tried puting this in the default value of the combo box

=[ComboBox Name].[DefaultValue] = "String in ComboBox"

Also

=[ComboBox Name].ItemData(N) N equaling the position the combo Box

Does this Help

Muddman,

Modify =[ComboBox Name].[DefaultValue] = "String in ComboBox" to just = "String in ComboBox" for the combo box default value.

Your second attempt, =[ComboBox Name].ItemData(N), should work as it is (N is the N+1th row of your combo box, where the first row is a row number 0).

Ragards, Pavla.
