VB 5.0 DBCombo MatchedWithList error

ag · Nov 5, 1998

Has anyone come acorss a problem with the DBCombo.MatchedWithList property? 
 
It appears that irrespective of a user's selection from the list, that this property is always 'false'. Everything else works just fine. I am using VB 5, SP3. 
 
TIA

I recently used the MatchedWithList property for the first time and I had a problem with it always returning false until... 
After checking the DBCombo.MatchedWithList property I programmagramtically set the dBCombo.Text property. An example follows: 
 
If DBCombo.MatchedWithList = False Then 
MsgBox ("Select from list") 
TestData.RecordSource = "SELECT [TestTable].* FROM [TestTable]" 
TestData.Refresh 
TestData.Recordset.MoveFirst 
DBCombo.Text = TableData.Recordset![TestName] 
Exit Sub 
End If 
 
Does this help?

Thanks for the reply......that's essentially the solution I arrived at although slightly differently.....if you set 
DBCombo.BoundText=DBCombo.BoundText (!) then it also appears to do the job....seems the DBCombo knows about the value but isn't passing it through somehow.
