PRB: Negative Numbers Do Not Display in a Combo Box (190267)

MORE INFORMATION

If the RowSourceType property is set to any other value, negative numbers will display in the combo box. Also, if the BoundTo property is set to false, negative numbers will display in the combo box, but the positive value of that number is written to the table.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Save the following code to a program file and run it to create a table named "test" with a numeric field called "numfld".

         CREATE TABLE test (numfld N(3))
         INSERT INTO test (numfld) VALUES (1)
         INSERT INTO test (numfld) VALUES (2)
         INSERT INTO test (numfld) VALUES (-1)
         INSERT INTO test (numfld) VALUES (-2)

2. Create a form, add the table to the Data Environment, and add a combo box to the form.
3. Change the following properties of the combo box:

         BoundTo = .T.
         ControlSource = numfld
         RowSource = SELECT * FROM test INTO CURSOR mytest
         RowSourceType = SQL Statement

4. Run the form and select a negative number from the drop-down combo box. Note that once a negative number is selected, it does not display in the combo box.
