Say I create a combo box called "skills" and in the list of choices I have Warrior, monk and SK. And I create a display area on the same page to display some text. How do I associate the selection in the combobox to the display of the text. I thought perhaps I could use the index of the choice. So if monk was selected that would be choice[1] so something like choice.index might be available, but that is not in the SIDL doc as an element of a combo box. SO the question in short is ... if a combo box is selected how do I access what choice was made? Cad

However; you can play with it and see if it will work? VI's netorious for hard coding tons of things, this even includes options that are given details to make but no possiable do to UI limitations. The most I can say is to play with it and see what happens. If you get it working, post it! I'm sure others will be interested in your new found knowledge. __________________ Sithr, 65th Transcendent Officer/Leader of Chronology Mithaniel Marr http://www.chronology-guild.org/
