Bonnie,

Instead of doing a databind, could I just set the properties like in the code below? What event within the combo box should I write the code to refresh the other combo boxes? I currently have it in the selectedvaluechange event.

Jim

    Private Sub getProjects()
        dsTimeCollection.Tables("project").Rows.Clear()
        daProjects.Fill(dsTimeCollection, "Project")
        BindCombo(cboProjects, dsTimeCollection, "Name", "project", "project_id")
    End Sub

    Private Sub BindCombo(ByVal combo As System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox, ByVal dataset As DataSet, ByVal DisplayMember As String, ByVal TableName As String, ByVal ValueName As String)
        combo.DataSource = dataset.Tables(TableName)
        combo.DisplayMember = DisplayMember
        combo.ValueMember = ValueName
    End Sub
