Default BoundColumn property

Can someone please explain in layman terms, the purpose of BoundColumn in
ComboBox in terms of viewing two columns when dropped down and storing one
value in the table and displaying different value in the form?

I want to be able to see two columns in drop down mode, column 1 value
stored in table and column 2 value displayed in form data view.


The column value you see when the ComboBox is not dropped is always the
left-most column with a non-zero width. You can store any column you want
and that can even be a column that you do not show, but the first visible
column in the drop-down is always the column shown when not dropped down.
