I'm always confused by the combos. I was using a drop down list in a grid and it was working great showing me the field in the table, yet allowing the user to choose items from an array list. Now I've decided I want the users to have the option to enter a value not from the list, so I changed the style to a drop down combo and I can no longer see the field values - it's just blank on every row. The controlsource still says the field name, the column's Sparse value is false, what am I missing?
