default value in value list combo box

[Amanda]

I have created an unbound combo box, set the Row Source Type to Value List,
and provided 3 values in "row source"- this works fine.

But I can't seem to set the default value. I type in the string that
matches the first selection, but in form view there is simply nothing
selected.

I'm using Office 2007, and I'm pretty sure I did not have this problem with
Office Pro 2003.

This is pretty simple, what's going on?

Thanks, Amanda

Because it is unbound I don;t think it uses the default value.
In the form load event put this code instead.

Me.ComboBoxName = "First Item String"
