I struggled with that too. Found a solution though. See the accounts demo I link to all the time. Notice it binds the combo's selection to the grid. Solution is in the download, which I posted a week or so ago. It's custom component that extends the ComboBox. Not elegant but, apparently, it's the only solution.

Love this Jake - particularly that it wont let you open the same doc twice. Nice attachment handling too, looks great.

One thing I've struggled with is to have a combobox as one of the editable fields - getting it to populate the value from the selectedItem of the datagrid. Maybe you could have a stab if you have a second...

That would be a killer feature!

Hm. Seems to have problems with proxy servers. I get a login prompt when I click Upload File. Tried my proxy credentials to no avail. App goes into "wait" mode with the spinning clock.

That is slick! Now if you could choose to upload multiple files in one shot, that would be something Domino has refused to do without active x or some other non-native functionality. Great work Jake!
