ComboBox Problem

[dr223]

Hi,

I populate my dropdownlist combobox (cmbinactiveproj) from a datasource as shown below. However, I want thethe dropdownlist value selected to be equal to the txtprojnameupdt.text. For example,

The dropdownlist as in the database is;

London
Manchester
Liverpool

So if txtprojnameupdt.text = Manchester, on load I want the combobox to go to Manchester instead of London .
With the below code it is is still showing London.

Unless I scroll down and select Manchester. I want it to show manchester straight away...

Me.QryactiveprojectsTableAdapter.Fill(Me.Projstatus.qryactiveprojects)

        txtprojnameupdt.Text = cmbinactiveproj.Text

Thanks

cmbinactiveproj.selectedindex = cmbinactiveproj.findstringexact(txtprojnameupdt.Text)
