Thank you so much for the advice, Nish. The restaurants especially sound like good options, and will give us something to aim for initially. I'm sure we'll come across places in our journeys.

Maybe I'll give that a miss... unless I'm sure :) I'll try and stick some photos up when I get back; From what I've read there should be some pretty good photo opportunities! Thanks again. Tom

Thanks - just by writing a response, trying to show there was nothing wrong with my code, I've realised what I was doing wrong. The class I use to create an object to fill the combo box holds the ID as Long, and I was casting the value coming from the dataset as an Integer. Once I changed the cast to a Long, it worked like a dream. I'm sorry for wasting your time! Many Thanks Tom
