RE: [AccessD] default values for combos with listsNo, I'm saying I set the
value to 0 and it was showing me "True".

  So you're saying you set the default value to = "-1" or -1, and it's
showing you 0?

    Nope, I'm talking about the default value.

    Build a combo with two columns, then make -1;True;0;False;*;All as the
list of values.
    Place 0 in the default value.
    The combo will display True when it opens (or it did with me).
    It should display false since the 0 is the false value.

    Are you talking about the ItemData, John?  That's an index that relates
    to the position.

    I discovered today that combos that display lists use a default value
    that is the position, not the value of the 1st column.  IOW, if a combo
    pulls data from a table, the default value should be a value from the
    leftmost column in the SQL Statement feeding data to the combo.  The
    value in this column that matches the default value will be displayed.
    This same thing doesn't work for list values, in this case the number is
    the position in the list.
