[libreoffice-users] Default option for a Base form listbox

Greetings,
Using Linux LO 3.6.7.2.

I have several listboxes in my Base forms.  I would like to set a 
default selection in those listboxes.  The listboxes reference small 
tables with 2 columns.  Column 1 is the key, and column 2 contains the 
text value for that key.  I am trying to figure out how the Default 
selection under the listbox properties General tab works.

Entering the number (the Key number from column 1) does not work. 
Entering "2" for row 2, actually selects the text in row 8!

If I try entering the text from column 2 of the listbox table seems to 
work for single characters, but not strings.  For instance, most of my 
listbox tables use "-" (dash) in row 1 column 2,  Entering -, which 
becomes "-" in the default option, oddly does work.  The defaults for a 
new record show - in the listbox.  However, if I enter "Active", which 
is in row 2, column 2 with column 1 containing the key number 2, does 
not work.  It does nothing.  In fact, "Active" does not stick in the 
default option, but turns blank as if I didn't enter anything.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance.
Girvin Herr
