Alexei, Thanks - it does verify that I'm on the right path... I'm pretty sure I've qot the combo box stuff working. As I said, I did wire up another dialog box to display the result of the user's edits and they seem to be carried through.
The problem occurs elsewhere in the xml where I try to use one of the properties who's value's been changed from the default in the user element. <User Id="OAPSqlUser" Name="[USERNAME]" Password="[SQLPASSWORD]"/> This is a child of the <product ... > element. And here the Property values are resolved to their original default settings rather than to the new values that were input by the user in the Config Dialog. --paulm I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to do, but as far as I can tell you wish to let the user set up a username and a password for the db. And the username and date are to be retrieved from the UI. The way would do it would be to attach the editbox element with a public property, say USERNAME, then use (like you are doing) the [USERNAME] (value of USERNAME).
