Default combo box line

OK, I've got a form that works fine with the user selecting a combo box entry
that is required, manually.

I want to set the default when the form is opened so you only need to do that if
the default isnt what you want.

I dont want it to be the first item in the list, tho that would be a viable
kludge.

How do I do that ?

Set the Default Value of the combo box to the value in the Bound Column for
the row you want to be the default.

Thanks, thought it had to be something obvious like that.
