Dragged a SF ComboBox to the form. The BusinessObject property was already set, I just set the BindingField property to the column name in the business object. When displaying the form, the combo does not display the data. A textbox does. What other property is required.</description><pubDate>Fri, 16 May 2008 10:16:51 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Ross L.
