Can't figure out what is happening. I have a value list with values A, B, and C.

The field definition in the table says this field is always validated and the values must come from the value list.

The entry field on the screen says it come from a drop down list based on the same value list.

When the user clicks in that field, the three choices appear as they should.

If the user initially clicks on B, the field is filled in with A.

If the user initially clicks on C, the field is filled in with B.

In either case if the user returns to the field and again select B the field is correctly filled in with B.

The strange behavior is only happening on the initial attempt to fill in the field.

Ideas?

Why don't you post a sample file showing the problem?

Are you sure there's no values in the field to begin with? Put an edit box from the same field on the layout, but make it taller and take off the value list. What do you see when selecting values from the other field object?
