cpopham 0 Junior Poster in Training

Okay, it has been a while since I have used Vb .Net and I have now downloaed and installed Vb .net 8 express. I have setup a relational database in sql compact. I am trying to get a compbo box that will show values from one table and when an item is selected store the item ID value in another table, but when you go through the records I want the text of the selected item to show in the combobox. This is similar to the way it works in MS access 2002-2003. I see the databings and also the datasource, and display member, but how can I get the combo box to do what I need? Please help...
