Format issue.

[Rpettis31]

I move some values from a form to another one.
For example on form A I have an item number listed that is pulled from an
item master via a combo box. For example if the item number is 1235-A the
value that appears on the new form will be 1537.

Another issue I have is that there is a dropdown list to select a
responsible party for some reason the value is not saved as the name on the
list rather it displays the number of the selection.

Thanks

Best to post two questions as two posts.

First question.
Are Both forms open at the same time or does the first form with the combo
open the second form?
How do you know to translate 1235-A to 1537?

Second Question:
Is this a bound control?
If so, Is the field the control is bound to a lookup field?
