Combo box display values

Hello,

I have a form with two combo boxes used for searching.
When I search for a record using either, everything works and the
record is recalled, but my problem is that the value of the second
combo box (that wasn't used to search) remains empty (and i want it to
display the data for the record once found).
Can anyone help me out?
 
Typically, a combobox is either used to find values or to update values, not
both. The problem is that if the combobox is bound to a field, changing it to
do a search will change the value of that field. It's best to create two
comboboxes in your form header for searching and other comboboxes in the
form's detail section for choosing values to store.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I'm not actually looking for the combo box to update the value of the
uderlying field. I'm just trying to display the appropriate field in
the combo box that wasn't searched (instead of it remaining blank).
Please let me know if this is possible.
Thanks
