Rex,

As BOb mentioned, you could add the business object to the application object. This will load its associated view in the "Default" data session. Since toolbars also use the default data session, your combobox will always have access to the business object's view as its RowSource.

However, here's the catch: If you add/edit/delete records in the view, you'll need to issue a Requery() to the combobox so that it picks up the change in its RowSource. Typically, you place code in a business object's PostRequeryHook() method to issue a Requery() to the combobox. That way, you can guarantee that whenever the business object is requeried, the combobox is requeried and kept in synch.

That said, you don't want to place UI-specific code in a business object's method until you have dropped an instance of the class into a form / container. This presents a case for dropping an instance of your business object inside the toolbar rather than adding it to the application object dynamically at runtime.
