Good evening,

I have a form with a data bound combobox and would for when the form loads
that the combobox not have anyvalue showing int he combo box i want the user
to have to select the choice before it returns the dataset info.

MSDN says "You cannot set the SelectedIndex of a ComboBox item to -1 if the
item is a data-bound item"

but that is all it says, is there a way around this?

Not sure if asking the question quit right.

Thanks for the help,

Jeff

After the code to data-bind the combobox has executed, simply insert a new
item into the combobox at position 0:

ComboBox.Items.Insert(0,"")
