Combo Box Help - can't solve

Question

Using VS 2003 Database: Access When I select (bind) the proper DataSource (e.g. DataSet.table) and DisplayMember (a table column) in the property window of VS for a combo box (CB) does anyone know why when I run the local application clicking on the CB control doesn't reveal the actual drop down box (i.e. values). However, if I select a different table in that same DataSet (DS) the CB works fine. Note: that second DS.table is used in the datagrid on that same form. I have done everything (previewed data, schema, keys, new DS, etc). HINT maybe?: the first mouse click on the CB arrow down buton depresses the arrow down button. HOWEVER, the next click on the button or, anywhere on the entire form, does nothing. Focus problem?

The code is automatically generated by Visual Studio when you enter it property window. this.comboBox1.DataBindings.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.Binding(Text this.ConfigMgmtLogDS StevesConfigMgmtLog.DocumentType)); this.comboBox1.DataSource = this.ConfigMgmtLogDS.DocumentTypes; this.comboBox1.DisplayMember = DocumentTypes; this.comboBox1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(320 8); this.comboBox1.Name = comboBox1; this.comboBox1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(121 21); this.comboBox1.TabIndex = 65; I matched up this code with that second DS.Table when I assigned that as the datasource. That datasource works fine in the CB. I found no problems in the match up. I also matched up the DS parts. Maybe I should clear() the CB first??
