Expression Box shows value not display name in print view. ??

[GoBucks]

Hi Everyone.

I am using a expression box in a print view to display the contents of a
drop down box on my default view. The problem I am having is the expression
box is displaying the value rather then the display name.. i.e. "Vacation
Time" has a value of 1. The box shows 1 instead of "Vacation Time" in the
print view.
Any way to fx this?

If your expression box is showing the data for the field that the dropdown
is bound to, then the expression box will always show the value. If your
dropdown control is using a static list, then there is no way around this.

If your dropdown control gets its list items from the main data source or a
secondary data source, then you can do this. Basically, your expression box
will need to show the same field that you are using for the display name
whose corresponding value matches the value of the field that the dropdown
control is bound to. I hope that makes sense.
