I suspect the code you are trying is not correct. The control cmbTaxClassID is not a textbox but it is a combo-box.
I remember reading somewhere that if you set style of combo-box to Dropdown List, it behaves completely different

Note: I am not a VB programmer, this is just vague memory.

Thanks

Solution 2

I feel you are using Combobox with list so its Text has read property.
Either you change the combo property or find the required TEXT in the combobox list and assign
Combobox.selectedIndex= ItemIndex

Solution 3

A couple different ways to handle this.

VB

cmbTaxClassID.SelectedValue = tsiNVL(rsVoucher!AcTr_TCLsId)
-- or
cmbTaxClassID.SelectedText = tsiNVL(rsVoucher!AcTr_TCLsId)

You could also loop through each item in the control, compare the text to your value and set that item as selected if found.
