I have a browse dialog that is using a business object to populate a combo for a search field, the combo is populating fine however after making a selection I get the following error

the combo box's value member is a string and the field to be searched is a string ,

It looks like it failing on

llReturn = CType(.SelectedValue, Integer) <> -1

Thanks Ben, I made tha change here as well.

Let me know how it works, btw.  What I've tested here works, but make sure it works for your search field, too.

Yeah I was just about to say "Houston we have a problem". 

Ben,

It looks like the -1 was used as a value for "Not Used" in the combo which is added when the combo is created, thus the test was to exclude Not Used from the search.

I changed the code to look at selected index which seems to work ok. i'll let you know if it doesnt.

llReturn = .SelectedIndex > 0

Yep, we went back and revisited that and that is exactly what we did, too.

We also made some changes so that you can have non integer values as the values of the combo box for GUIDs and strings and such.  Trent should be posting an update soon with the changes.
