I understand that the combo doesn't show anything if it doesn't find a matching value in it's data (doesn't the native .Net combo allow this), but this is something that I could do in FoxPro (I know..... I hate bringing that up but that is the way my mind is working.... I need to start thinking .NET).
Any and ALL help will be appreciated... even if it is "it doesn't work that way, get a better conversion routine".
