Bonjour Thierry,

In this case, I'd add a hidden field to contain the
actual data, then copy the value from the combobox
into that field on closeField, and set the combobox
label to the text of the hidden field on preOpenCard
in the background group script.

-- combobox script
on closeField
  put the label of me into field "HiddenField"
end closeField
--

-- background group script
on preOpenCard
  set the label of btn "Combobox" to \
      the text of field "HiddenField"
end preOpenCard
--

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
