Unbound combo box value

[key]

Hi,

I think it's gonna be a really easy question... but I cannot figure it out!
I've a combo box and month values (Jan, Feb, Mar,...). This comb box is not bound to any table or field, so the data is stored in the Row Source property.
My question is: how I can figure it out which month is selected?
(Me!cboBox.value doesn't work)

Thanx,

Key

Either Me!cboBox.Value, or simply Me!cboBox, should reference the current value in the combo box, UNLESS:
1. the combo box is in the process of being edited (you've changed the selection but haven't yet moved the focus away from the combo box); or
2. you've misspelled the name of the combo box

If you are in the process of editing the combo box and want to reference the currently displayed text, use Me!cboBox.Text instead.

You may want to review the help screens for the Value Property and the Text Property.
