show other column on combo not bound

[cliff7376]

I have a simple question. I have a combo box with two column's associated with it. The bound column is a code we use and the second column is the description of the code. When people use the combobox they can see both the code and description of the code, but when they choose it only the code shows in the box. How can I make it so both show up. Or better yet only the decription?

For the display of the dropdown list:
In the Properties you will see something under Format>Column Widths:
0.531";1.3467"
Change the first one to 0" and it should disappear from the dropdown list.

If you're getting the code shown instead of the description, you may have the wrong column bound. Look under the Data tab, the bound column should probably be 1 (since they start counting at 0).

HTH,
