Behing the form load sub,I populate some text and combo boxes with data:-

cmbstatus.DataBindings.Add("Text", dssupport.Tables("Supportcall"), "Status")
txtoperator.DataBindings.Add("Text", dssupport.Tables("Supportcall"), "Operator")

The text fields are populated correctly with the data from the record, yet the combo boxes fields do not display the correct data.

I know I have bound the data correctly because I can select from the drop down combo when creating a new record.
