Hi Tom,

Creating the control for the lookup can be tricky so I would suggest just walking through that part of the jump start again to see if you missed anything. Also, just so you know the MM install directory in Program Files has a directory named Samples and in there is the Acme Order System WPF project. You can open that and compare what you did against that one. Open two instances of VS and open yours along side that one and compare everything.

Good luck
Tim
