I apologize for being so vague:

Here is the code that calls the DB and populates the combo box.


cmd = New OleDb.OleDbCommand("select * from Event", cn) ==> EVENT has RaceID and RaceType

Try
UnitIDReader = cmd.ExecuteReader

If UnitIDReader.HasRows Then

While UnitIDReader.Read()
race.ValueMember = UnitIDReader("RaceType")
race.Items.Add(UnitIDReader("RaceType").ToString)
End While

End If
Catch
End Try

combobox is populated with Race information RaceType (String = 50 meter backstroke)

I have attached a screenshot of the control

1. When I do the binding, the control comes up empty
2. When I do not do binding, I get the values, but Selected Value is always NULL.

Thank you. Mate
