Hello,

Excel Facts

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Do you mean that when you open a form, you want to see something selected in the combo -- a default value?

I don't think it's going to be a default Value (Although I could be wrong)

because the combo box get's requery'd it could have any values inside it, so I want it to display the first value in the combo box after its been requery'd ??

Any Ideas

Hmmm...

Would a ListBox be suitable? You can make it 2-3 rows high to restrict the space, but I often find them quicker than Combos for choosing from a range of options.
