Default Combo Box text display question

Hello.

I have a combo box on the form. On the properties for that box, I
select the query using fields employeeIDpk, FName, LName. The bound
column is 1 and the widths are 0,1,1. The bound column is tied to a
employeeIDfk on another table.

The FName/LName combo (John Smith, Mark Jones, etc.) are in the
dropdown part, but all that shows up in the text box itself is the
employee ID (3, 4, etc.) associated with that combo.

The number is good to store in the underlying table, but I would like
when the user is scrolling through the records via the form, she says
names in that block, rather than just a number.

Thanks for all your help!

VR/Lost
