Thank you to Chris Garrard, Nick Seigal, and David Hawke. I just wasn't paying enough attention to the syntax in the help. Chris put it best with this statement: "FindByValue [for a combobox] doesn't return anything. But if it finds what you're looking for, it makes that the current row. If you want to select that row, use SelectCurrent. If you just want the row number, use GetCurrentRow." All I was missing in my criteria was the "SelectCurrent". Thank you all, my app works just fine now. Ryan Dalton Portland,OR DaltonGIS@mail.com -------Original Question--------- I am in need of some help with finding objects in a combobox. Scenario: I populated the combobox with with a list of objects (say A,B,C,D,E). When I search the combobox for object 'B' using , AV returns a "nil" response. Test: As a test, I created a new list using the CONTENTS of the combobox () and then searched the new list using . When I do this, AV returns object "B"s index number, as expected. Why is object "B" not being found in the combobox? It seems like searching the combobox & the list should produce the same result, but its not. How can I fix this and find object "B" in the COMBOBOX list of values? Thanks, will SUM.
