How do I select the first value of a combo box

[DougP]

Access '97<br>I've tried:<br>Me![Combo30].ItemData(0)<br>in the VBA code window of the On_current event of the form.<br>&quot;Error Property not supported&quot;.<br>Me![Combo30].Selected(0) = True<br>Object does not support thie property or method.<br><br>I don't know it's value, they are dates and I sorted the combo box so the most recent date is first in the list. So I want it to default to that date instead of being blank when I open the form.<br><br>I put it in the default Value of the Properties<br>like so:<br>[Combo30].[ItemData}(0)<br>But its blank too.<br><br>I'm at a loss here. <p>DougP<br><a href=mailto: dposton@universal1.com> dposton@universal1.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Ask me how Bar-codes can help you be more productive.
