I have a case statement that evaluates a string in a combo box on a form which is either English or Metric. What I'm finding is that the case statement does not see the pull down box contents which is loaded by default unless it is physically reselected by the user. In other words the combo box defaults to "metric" but the case statement does not recognize it unless I go and reselect "metric" in the combo box. Any help would be appreciated.
Whats wrong with the other question you already have a thread on this subject for?
Did I just hear "You gotta help us, Doc. We've tried nothin' and we're all out of ideas" ? Is this you? Dont let this be you! I will put in as much effort as you seem to.

i don't understand very well your problem. Give us the code, example... don't let us guess.
If this is the problem I think it is, I usually fix it by using the Text property of the combo box. It should allow you to get the text of what's in the combo box without the user actually having to select it.

Show some code, show the line with the error, show what you tried to do to fix it
