>>Thanks for your answer. But -- What I am trying to do is to take the jump start as a starting point for my own design. I backed away from my earlier question with >the picker and got down even more to the basics. When I wanted to display an integer field (QualityID) of my contactrecord I get an error: "Cannot bind to the >property or column QualityID on the DataSource. Parameter name: dataMember". When I bind the mmTextbox control to, for example, the surname all is OK.

Glad you got if solved. In the upper right corner of the message here there is a button "Message View Setup". If you click on that you can enable the message quote feature.
