VB 5.0 DBCombo MatchedWithList error

[ag]

Has anyone come acorss a problem with the DBCombo.MatchedWithList property?<br>
<br>
It appears that irrespective of a user's selection from the list, that this property is always 'false'. Everything else works just fine. I am using VB 5, SP3.<br>
<br>
TIA<br>
<br>
ANdrew<br>

I recently used the MatchedWithList property for the first time and I had a problem with it always returning false until...<br>
After checking the DBCombo.MatchedWithList property I programmagramtically set the dBCombo.Text property. An example follows:<br>
<br>
If DBCombo.MatchedWithList = False Then<br>
MsgBox ("Select from list")<br>
TestData.RecordSource = "SELECT [TestTable].* FROM [TestTable]"<br>
TestData.Refresh<br>
TestData.Recordset.MoveFirst<br>
DBCombo.Text = TableData.Recordset![TestName]<br>
Exit Sub<br>
End If<br>
<br>
Does this help?

Thanks for the reply......that's essentially the solution I arrived at although slightly differently.....if you set <br>
DBCombo.BoundText=DBCombo.BoundText (!) then it also appears to do the job....seems the DBCombo knows about the value but isn't passing it through somehow.
