I want no value selected in the combo box.

I fill a combo box with '1, 2, 3, 4, 5' using additem and tie it to a data
source.

When the form first opens there is no value in the combo box if the data
source has no data.

I choose a 2 from the combo box.

I change my mind. I do not know the value I want in the combo box.

But, how do I get the combo box back into its no value stage?

The workaround I use is to create a two dimensional array (' ',1), ('1',2),
('2',3), ('3',4), ('4',5), ('5',6) and tie the data source to the second
column.

There are better ways to do this, I guess. Please enlighten me.

Sincerely,

Jan Nordgreen

set the combobox value property back to zero

thisform.Combo1.Value = 0

Hmmm. This actually works! I knew you could do this with
a checkbox, but never knew you could blank out a listbox
with it! Good one, Leonid.

CTRL+0 enters NULL in a control. So make sure your users don't pick up the
habit of entering nulls where you wouldn't want them and never thought you
would get them <g>.
