Hi Rob, A combobox set to required will always select the first option as default. If you do not want that to happen, you can use a - Please select - as the first opton with a value of -1. If you're using SQL, you can use something like this: Select '- Select Item - ' as QuestionOption, ' ' as QuestionOptionValue Union All select Text as QuestionOption, Text as QuestionOptionValue from Lists where ListName= 'Region' Hope that helps!
