remember that the value displayed on the screen by a Data-aware component is
the Datasource/Datafield value, and not the the Listsource/Listfield value.
So if you're changing list-source values you probably need to update the
actual Datafield to reflect the change.

Hope this makes sense, or is even relevant.

As an aside  - I used to spend hours changing Listsources, debugging to see
that they had actually changed then getting pissed off cause it would not be
displaying on the screen, (look you stupid machine right here it says this
value but you're still displaying that value  - do as your'e f***ing
told!!).  I think I understand now.
