Combo box value always showing first item not what is selected

I have a combo box on a form that allows the user to select the record they
want from the list and the details of the record display in a subform. The
strange problem I am having is that no matter which choice you pick from the
combo box list the first item on the list is always what displays in the
combo box even though the subform is correctly showing the actual record you
picked from the list. I have lots of other forms/subforms functioning this
way that work fine - it just seems to be this one form that has a problem -
any ideas?

In the record source for the combo there are few fields, check which field
is bounded to the combo, it could be that it is bounded to the wrong field
that has the same value in all the records, so it doesn't metter what you
choose it will always return the first value in the combo
 
Thank you! I new it had to be something dumb I was doing - I had the bound
column set to 1 instead of 0 when I wanted to pick up the first column. It's
one of those things where you over think it and start looking at all your
code and on and on and just overlook the simple things!
Thanks again!
