Jim,
Most of the time ...combo.refresh in ARCC would cure it as already said. There is a special situation though. Your grid might be editable and buffered. In that case your combo's SQL wouldn't retrieve the newly entered but not tableupdated value. Thus combo would be blank. For those cases you could build a an SQL that would contain it too :)
select distinct .. from myTable ;
union ;
select thisform..mygrid...text1.value as fieldname ;
into cursor mycursor

* In lostfocus of combo
with this
.value = .displayvalue
.displayvalue = .value
endwith
Helps. Also you would need a ...combo.requery.

What I want to do is when the user changes rows in the grid the combobox should change to the correct value. However, it doesn't. When I first go into the form and scroll through the grid nothing happens. If I click on the combo box the value gets updated. After the combobox starts working it sometimes loses it's value even though the column the controlsource is set to has data in it.
