Visual Basic ActiveX Combo Wont Update?

Hi

I have a Visual Basic ActiveX control containing a single combo box

this is bound to an ADO DC.

The Combo box correctly sees the data from the ADODC control

however if I change the value in the combo box the value reverts to the original.

I can't get the combo to update the underlaying recordset.

The ADODC is set up as Optimistic Locking, ReadWrite, Dynamic Cursor. The database is not read only.

Thanks in advance

Update:

Oh, Active X Control running within Visual Basic on Windows 2000.

Its to design a custom data-grid control, with bound combos allowing the user to pick from a drop-down

    Usually these things are down to lack of "permissions" - under what OS context are you running the app. ? (if it's VISTA all bets are off anyway ..)

    NB. If this is for a Web site to run on Client's PC's, don't be silly = Active-X is a path for Virus and Advertising (and Firefox doesn't support it full-stop).

    No-one I know has Active-X enabled any more - and I believe latest version of MSIE disables Active-X by default ...

    VBasic and VC++ are 2 particular progression options. Microsoft seen prevalent is honestly available at your community application supercenter for a nominal price, as is seen C++, seen C#, and so on. the straightforward alterations interior each technique is that of 'undemanding' vs 'actual' vs 'corporation'. in case you at the prompt are no longer in a corporation environment, then 'respected' may nicely be what you're calling the "finished form" because it has more beneficial controls & elements than the straightforward version.
