>I'm not really storing the description, the only values that I'm storing are the product code and product price in my line item file. What I need is to have the combobox bring the value(description) of the product code and populate a line in the grid when I pulled that order, and whenever a select a new value (for new orders)from the combobox, the item I select should stay on the grid line and not disappear as it has been doing.

>>>Hi, were you able to fix the problem you had with using a combobox(dropdown list) in a grid? I have the exact same problem you had at the beginning of the thread and I wonder if you could share the recipe on you got it to work. Whenever I select a product from the list it flashes for about a milisecond and then disappears, giving me the blue background, although I'm able to get the information I need from it such as price and code value, but the description won't stay.
