Combo boxes are quite similar to Pop-up menus/Drop-down lists in that combo boxes display a selectable list of items when they are clicked. However, unlike Pop-up menus/Drop-down lists, combo boxes do not have a default value. When a combo box is loaded, there is no selected default value. If you want to define a default value for a combo box, you can assign it to its element 0 (Combo{0}, when the variable name is "Combo") when the form is being loaded.
For example:
If(Form event=On Load)
Combo{0}:=Combo{1}
End if
