Drop Down List Always Shows The First Value? How Do I make it blank Instead

Avatar

Level 3

I have several drop down list fields. An example would be city. It allows a user to select a city. I want the form to be totally blank to begin with. Currently when the form is intially pulled up it shows the the first value of the list. All my drop down fields exhibit this same behavior. Is there any way to just be blank instead?

Thanks

Check in the Object palette at the Value tab and make sure that you do not have a default selected.
