I assume that your combo box has:
Row Source Type: Table/Query
Row Source: the names table
Bound Column: 1
Column Count: 2
Column Widths: 0″;1″ (or something similar with the first column width = 0)

Although this combo box displays the name, it stores the corresponding ID. If you want to set a default value, you must supply the corresponding ID. So to set Ashraf as default, enter 10 (Ashraf’s ID) in the Default Value property of the combo box.

Why didn’t you ask that the first time? Set the Default Value property of your combo box to

=[Named].[ItemData](0)

where Named is the name of your combo box. The ItemData(0) refers to the first item in the list (counting starts at 0).
