      Hello All,

      I am drawing a blank and hoping someone knows the answer.  I am missing something.

      I have a From that has a Category data card that uses a combo box to select the Category from the Category table.  The combo box only allows for one Category to be selected
      There is a CategoryID data card on the form, hidden, and I need that field filled in with the ID of the Category table of the selected Category from the combo box.  
      If the Category is updated for a record then the CategoryID would be updated with the new ID.

      I have tried a number of ways to get this to work and I an not having any luck.

      Thanks in advance for your help.

      Kind regards,

      ——————————

      Set the default value of Category ID card data to be the selected value of the combo box.

      Another way to d it would be to set a variable at OnChange property of combo box and have that variable be the default for the card

      Hello Larry, that is what I figured out, was to set the default value of the Category ID card data to the selected value of the combo box.  

      Thanks for the help.
