I am able to get the windows user name however i dont know the command for targeting my name in the DBLookupComboBox list. Any help would be fantastic !!!! Thanks Martin Back to top Mike Shkolnik Guest Posted: Mon Dec 20, 2004 2:42 pm    Post subject: Re: targeting an item in a dbLookupcomboBox Martin, DBLookupComboBox display the item that corresponded to value in field for current record. So if you'll change the value in record (or move the position in dataset), then DBLookupComboBox will display the another value -- With best regards, Mike Shkolnik EMail: [email]mshkolnik (AT) scalabium (DOT) com[/email] http://www.scalabium.com "Martin Hayes" <martin_john_hayes (AT) hotmail (DOT) com> wrote Quote: Hi all, I have linked a DBLookupComboBox to a database - this works fine . however what i want to do is make it show a specific item in the list when the form opens. ie if i open the form then it will automaticly target my name in the list, but still let me use the drop down to see the other names.

Did you open the form for new record? If yes, just apply the value that you want in OnNewRecord event for your dataset PS: anyway this is not a topic for b.p.d.oleautomation forum -- With best regards, Mike Shkolnik E-mail: [email]mshkolnik (AT) scalabium (DOT) com[/email] WEB: http://www.scalabium.com "Martin Hayes" <martin_john_hayes (AT) hotmail (DOT) com> wrote Quote: Hi I am still having problems !!!
