I currently have a multi column combo box that is working as it should. Its populating itself correctly and all, but the default value is a blank. I would like the defualt value to be an instruction to the user such as "Please select an item below" but i'm not sure how to accomplish this. in know with a single column combo box you can use the .Value, but i'm not sure how to get a default text to display from a multi column combo box. Below is a snippet of the cbo code. thanks.

Sub PopulateBWProjectNumber()
Dim i As Integer
i = 0
Set adoRecordset = New ADODB.Recordset
adoRecordset.Open _
Source:="SELECT tblProjectData.BWProjectNumberID, tblProjectData.BWProjectNumber, tblProjectData.BWProjectName, tblProjectData.CustomerID, tblCustomer.CustomerName " & _
"FROM tblProjectData INNER JOIN tblCustomer ON tblProjectData.CustomerID = tblCustomer.CustomerID " & _
"ORDER BY tblProjectData.BWProjectNumber ", _
ActiveConnection:=PLMBackend, _
CursorType:=adOpenStatic, _
LockType:=adLockReadOnly, _
Options:=adCmdText
With frmDSRHeader.cboBWProjectNumber
.Clear
.ColumnCount = 4
.BoundColumn = 1
.ColumnWidths = "0;72;216;0;0"
Do
.List(i, 0) = adoRecordset![BWProjectNumberID]
.List(i, 1) = adoRecordset![BWProjectNumber]
.List(i, 2) = adoRecordset![BWProjectName]
.List(i, 3) = adoRecordset![CustomerID]
.List(i, 4) = adoRecordset![CustomerName]
i = i + 1
adoRecordset.MoveNext
Loop Until adoRecordset.EOF
Set adoRecordset = Nothing
End With
End Sub
