setting combo box default selected value

[iori]

i have a combo box on my form that uses UNION query to put "<select>" as part of the list items.right now "<select>" appears on top of the list but what i mtrying to do is when the form loads i want the combo box to have "<select>" selected and not just show blank unless someone click on the down arrow. i m sure there is a way/propoerty to do it but i cant figure it out. Also how can i make my combo box so user cant type in a combo box but select from the list.

As for your second question, use a list box rather than a combo box.

thx rv and for the first question i found out from the sample dbs on this forum that i can just set their value to the value in the list ..in my case in the desired event i can put

combox="<select>"
