How do I retrieve an item from a multicolumn combobox? I need the value from
the second column. However, I need the box to display the value in the 1st
column.

Hi,
Use the BoundColumn Property of the COmbobox (check the online help about
this property)
Also you can access any element with cbx1.List(row,column) and replacing row
by cbx1.ListIndex

Hi Im,

create a textbox control
ControlSource -- = combobox_controlname.column(1)

column 1 is actually column 2 since column indexing starts
with 0

make sure the ColumnCount property of the combobox is set to
something besides 1

the ColumnWidths property controls how the columns display
..5";2"
-- first column is .5" and second column is 2"
seperate column widths with semi-colon

the ListWidth property should be the sum of the ColumnWidths

Have an awesome day

Warm Regards,
Crystal
