Data controls and bound controls... [Archive]

I used the data form wizard to create a form which relates to my database entities. Since I wanted some of the controls to be pull-down lists, I deleted some text controls, added some combo box controls, tied them to the data control, then added another data control to provide the necessary pull-down list. The problem is that when I run the application, I get an error #383 - "Set not supported (read-only property)". The problem is that none of my controls is set for read-only. Has anybody else had this problem or know the solution?

Thanks,

Shawn

Well, I found the problem, I declared one of my combo boxes as a pull-down list and some of the items in the existing database were not selections in that list. That gave me the read-only error since it was trying to write a value into the combo box that was not in the selection list. Thanks to those who read the thread!
