[RESOLVED] Combobox default value

[Mike54]

I have a combobox which contains a sample of names selected from a table.
Currently the default name displayed in the box is the 1st name found in the table. What I would like to do is display the name of the person who is doing the selection as the default. The name is stored in a public variable 'PubName' and I do not want the user to be able to type into the combobox themselves.

Is this possible?

[make me rain]

some thing like

me.combobox1.text = "Pubname"

provided
(1) what is the drop down style of your combobox ( for example if it is dropdownlist some condition applies, that pubname should be avaialble in the combobox list)

Thanks - OK I was definitely trying to over complicate that one. Did not need the ""s thou.
