Yeah, I figured as much. I noticed that if I opened then closed then re-opened the drop-down, the data would "sync" itself properly. Adding this refresh() statement was a way to force that to happen -- the user clicks on the combo box, the refresh happens (forcing the box closed), then the second click opens the drop-down with the proper data... Total hack-job, but it works. > > I couldn't find your previous post to look at the code, but I still suspect > recycling issues.

Here's my code as it stands right now.
