John,
First, you should update the combos as you move through the view. Second, as part of the form refresh after each record change you should be sure the correct data is showing for each combo.

If the combos are bound to fields they SHOULD update correctly without further intervention. If not, you may have to set the value: Thiscombo.value = Mytable.Field1

Don't forget that after re-doing the SELECT statement for each combo you must also do a combo.requery() so the data shows in the combo.
