ComboBoxes - HELP!!

Greetings!

You can tell I've been away from the VFP user interface for way too long!!! Here's my scenario:

I have a form with a clistobj object on it. Pressing the Edit button causes an clisteditobj form to come up poplulated with the information relating to the selected clistobj record. I have two combo boxes on the edit form. Both have 2 columns, column 1 is the description and column 2 is the unique id (and is not shown in the display).

I also have a bizobj for each combobox on the edit form. Both are views and the one used by combobox 2 requires a parameter.

There is a dependency, whereas when combobox 1 is selected, a view parameter is created and I requery the bizobj for combobox 2. This is not working at all. The original value of the parameter remains no matter what I do (this value comes from the calling form's bizobj, another view).

I've tried to follow the examples that Kevin provided in the ProjMgr project. However, I can't even get the comboboxes to populate with the "currently selected" option when the Edit form first comes up???

Anyway, it's getting fairly frustrating, and I just thought someone might have some words of encouragement for me. I am not a good interface programmer to begin with, so comboboxes tend to drive me crazy without the added fun of using the framework on top of that!

Thanks for any help, suggestions or other methods that work for getting this stuff through my thick skull.
