>Anyone else noted this problem and solved it?

Well, I once had a problem with two IB_LookupCombos in a grid. I thought it
was because of both of them referencing the same table and started writing
a message to this list. But I decided to write a short demo before sending
the question, and my demo ended up working! Yet another close look at my
original program revealed that I'd forgotten to assign one property (cannot
remember which one), and that IBO was "not guilty".

My guess is that you haven't set up your datasets/LookupCombo correctly
(that should at least explain why the text is empty). Maybe you've
forgotten something simple like DataSource/DisplayField on the LookupCombo
or KeySource/KeyLinks (remember to set KeyLinksAutoDefine to false) on your
detail query.
