I kind of see what you're getting at, I'm thinking the ArrayCollection is probably not being returned as an associative array. I've double-checked and the "col" variable is containing the value of what I select in the comboBox yet value is not getting set equal to it so yeah value = item[col] works. Going by your suggesting of checking the field names, and all I had to do was make sure they matched and when they did, the function as a whole worked.
Thanks, once again a mundane detail ruins my day, lol. Oh well, all part of the learning process. --- In [email protected], "Tim Hoff" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi Brian, > > The original example uses an associative array; which is an instance of > the Object class.
