This is proving to be more trouble than it's worth. Maybe I'll go back to using a table rather than an enum. At least that's easy.
What is happening is that the combo is populated with the enum values, but it does not display the appropriate item from the list when I select an existing record. Is there some sort of code that I'll have to add in to cause it refresh or display the correct one?
