      • Hi If I have a combobox bound to the 'detail' foreign key of two tables, selecting an item in the combobox doesn't seem to select the corresponding row in the 'detail' datatable. 'IsSynchronizedWithSource' is set true. What else could be stopping this I ask because I have a checkbox which relies on this 'currentrow' being selected so I can bind to it.
