I have a combobox that needs to display the text, "Department", when displayed on a form. The combobox is data bound and displays the values from a lookup table in the dataset. I have set the following properties for the combobox, in the code, as follows:

Code:
                .cmbDepartment.DataSource = subPickList.lkpDepartmentBindingSource
                .cmbDepartment.DisplayMember = "chrDepartment"
                .cmbDepartment.ValueMember = "chrDepartment"
                .cmbDepartment.Text = "Department"
The combobox works as required, but the text of the combobox displays the first record value instead of the text, "Department". Department is displayed the first time the form is called, but not after that.
