I know there's a learning curve but I'd advise against using a table - enums are far safer and easier to code against. Bear in mind that the problem you are having now is not related to the ObjectDataProvider - just a straight forward binding problem.....

Thanks, I'll look at this again today, hopefully. At first glance it looks like you have to code it to display the correct one? Or should the binding automatically force it do display the correct one?
