Use the display name of a drop down box

I want to show the display name of a drop-down box on a print document. I am
unable to find the command to make this happen. Anyone have an idea how to
do this?

If the value and display name of items in your drop-down do not differ, you
can get the display name of the selected item by refering to the value of the
selected item in the drop-down; this would simply be the field that
represents your drop-down on the form. If the value and display name of items
in your drop-down differ, and you bound your drop-down to a secondary data
source, then you can use a technique similar to the one in this article
http://enterprise-solutions.swits.n...-dropdown-selection-secondary-data-source.htm
to find the display name corresponding to the value of the selected item by
looking it up in the secondary data source.

Thanks for the response. I am currently doing that, but I was hoping there
was a command to use the display name of a drop down box instead of the
actual value. Thanks
