No obvious explanation is jumping out at me. If you'd like to send me a
cut-down copy of your database, containing only the elements necessary to
demonstrate the problem, compacted and then zipped to less than 1MB in size
(preferably much smaller) -- I'll have a look at it, time permitting. You
can send it to the address derived by removing NO SPAM and ".invalid" from
the reply address of this message. If that address isn't visible to you,
you can get my address from my web site, which is listed in my sig. Do
*not* post my real address in the newsgroup -- I don't want to be buried in
spam and viruses.

Where is the mask applied?

If you insert a value in the bound table field does the combo show the
correct corresponding information? Such as 8 then it show 410 Flash Card
Kit?

Karl/Dirk - My bad. I just double-checked, and I did have a default value in
the table after all. I had been checking the wrong table. You pointed me in
the right direction though. It works as expected after I removed the default
value.

Thanks again for looking into it.
