Have another look at Jonathan's requirement: he only wants to pick up a
value and write it directly onto the parent record - not enforce a
relationship. No double-binding or Keysource-lookup polling as you have
with IB_LookupCombo but better than plain Combobox because it enforces
valid data.

Use KeySource/Lookup and ib_lookupcombo where you need to enforce a
relationship.
