DBLookupCombo box misbehaving

[lespaul]

I have a crappy program that I am maintaining. The person who did the programming came from an RPG background and had no OO concepts or understanding when he built this program.

Anyways there's this piece of code that is supposed to set the DBLookupCombo box to the state of NM when the field is entered:

with DModule.TbStateCodes do
  begin
    EditKey;
    FieldByName('STATCD').AsString := 'NM';
    GotoKey;
  end;

now this code worked before i moved the component. All I did was move the component from one location on the form to another and now this doesn't work! The state is no longer pre filled in on the form when the user enters the field. I can step through the code and verify that it's being run, but it doesn't appear to do anything.....

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

if you moved the combo then make sure you relink its datasource and field properties.

really? moving it from one part of a form to another part of the same form could cause the link to drop?

I'll check it....

thanks!

I figured it out....there was another field that on it's onexit event that was actually setting the field value...all worked out now!

thanks!
