VBA: Get text from combo box

I have a form and am using the below code to try to send the text of a combo box using SMTP.  The email works, but it comes out like so:

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\EMAIL\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Maintenance Request

Problem Description:  vvvvv

Now, this is basically what I want, but if you can tell, for example on the "Requestor" it shows a number.  In my combo, this is actually text, but the combo is bound to a number so I can understand why it does this.  Below is the code I have been trying to just use the actual TEXT of the combo versus its value with no success.  I have tried "me.reqid.text"  and "reqid.text" amoung other things with no success.
