Zero Value on Combo list

I have the following code

cbocombo1.ListIndex = txtIng1.Text
Dim ComboValue1() As String
ComboValue1 = Split(cbocombo1.List(cbocombo1.ListIndex - 1))
lbling1.Caption = Trim(ComboValue1(2))


it works but when an item on the combolist has a value of Zero then then it tells me subscript out of range,

is there any way that it the items on the combolist have a value of zero just ignore the statement

If you want the text of the selected item you need:
cbocombo1.List(cbocombo1.ListIndex))
NOT
cbocombo1.List(cbocombo1.ListIndex - 1))

If do the cbocombo1.List(cbocombo1.ListIndex))
it shows the items one out sincronization
The items on a combo box have indexes going from 0 to n-1

What exactly is your code trying to do?

OK, I am trying to display the items from and access table
Field1  has a number 1 to 300
Field2 has a description to each of the 1 to 300 of field1

when I select item 1 ffrom field1, then I want to display the corresponding description which is on field2

Let me explain this a little better, Two tables from access database

Table 1 is called Final
Table 2 is ING

Final contains a field called Ing_N0, which is a number, now on the ING table
the fields are
Ing_N0
Description

When the user selects a Ing_N0 from the Final table I want this number to look on the ING table and display the description based on the ING_N0 selected
Are they standard comboboxes?
Do you do to the database after the user has selected a Ing_N0 from the Final table combo or are the values already in the other combo?
It might help if you pasted in some more code.

Sorry took so long to come back, but I still have problems with this
I know the listindex begins at zero , but the table does not have am item zero

here is what I have that I can not figure out

Private Sub txting2_Change()
cbocombo1.ListIndex = txting2.Text
Dim ComboValue2() As String
ComboValue2 = Split(cbocombo1.List(cbocombo1.ListIndex))
lbling2.Caption = Trim(ComboValue2(2))
lbling2b.Caption = Trim(ComboValue2(4))
lbling2c.Caption = Trim(ComboValue2(6))
lbl2d.Caption = Trim(ComboValue2(8))
lbl2f.Caption = Trim(ComboValue2(10))
End Sub


txting2 is always out of sinc with the other fields
How about intead of:
cbocombo1.ListIndex = txting2.Text
put
cbocombo1.ListIndex = txting2.Text - 1
