Hi,
I've looked over and over and in MSDN 2005 and just can't find what
is a really simple answer.
How do I select the first value in a combo box to be shown?
I tried the .selectedindex -1 but it doesn't work.
At the moment it populates fine but it just remains blank unless I
dropdown the list.
Thanks,
Adam

Set the 'SelectedIndex' property to 0. Setting it to -1 causes no item to
be selected, which is indicated by the blank combobox.

Adam,
The first is 0 as most things that are derived from classic VB.
If you want an empty box by not binded data than you can use -1.
I hope this helps,

Unless you are talking Dotnet 1.x and currently have a value selected. In
that case, you need to set it to -1 twice (or sometimes 3 times). Actually,
I think the implementation in 2.0 sets the selectedindex to 0 then -1 if
you try to set it to -1 when it is currently > 0, which effectively means
that unselecting a value will cause a value to be selected temporarily and
then unselected. This to me is more silly than the original question which
has already been answered.

Hello all,
Here is my situation. I have a combo box on a form. The combo box is

Hi everyone,
Please let there be someone out there who can help.
I have two BOUND combo boxes on a continuous form, the second being
dependent on the first. I have no problem getting the second combo to
change depending on what values the user selects in the first box, it's
just that every time the user changes the first combobox, the second
combobox FOR EVERY RECORD goes blank.

Here are the other 2 questions I have. I forgot to mention I am on Access 2003/Windows XP.
The second and third question I have is on Combo box. Can a combo box be used to access several documents on the network drive (U) or any other location? For example from the drop down list there are 3 options.
Weekly figures
Monthly figures
Quarter figures
Each one of these would open the related word or excel document.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
