combobox select item

I want to select an item on a combobox list based on its listindex - i.e., from program code. I have created a newindex for each item based on its database key. Would someone tell me, please, how to do this?

Why not use a DB-Combobox ? With that you can set it to display one field, and be 'bound' to another.

So, you would put in

DBCombo1.BoundText=123456

and the record with the id 123456 would be displayed in the combobox.

See the help for more details.

i guess i shy away from bound controls. But if that is the only way ....
