Is the structure of the item object the same for the combobox dataProvider and the DataGrid dataProvider? If so you should be able to simply specify the combobox selectedItem as the argument to addItem. Maybe you have to cast the selectedItem as Object? If the two item objects are not the same structure then you are on the right track, but you want to put the property balue in the new property, not the whole item object. Maybe: dgResources.addItem( {dept: cmbDept.selectedItem.dept} ); I'll see if I can do a quick example, and see what works.

However, I did try the example you suggested and it gives me a statement incomplete error. I think it needs a identifier for each specific column. Would I have to somehow loop through the new object in the combo box and pull each specific item out? --- In [email protected], "Tracy Spratt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > When you do this: > dgResources.addItem( {dept: cmbDept.selectedItem} ); } > > you are putting the whole combobox item object into the dept property of > a new object. > > Perhaps you just want: > dgResources.addItem(cmbDept.selectedItem); > > Tracy > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of rgwilson26 > Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 10:16 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [flexcoders] Re: databinding issue for combobox > > Basically I am calling a query that will populate a combobox.
