This is an editing mechanism. Is the main dataset
live? (RequestLive=True or custom XxxxSQL defined). When the set
is live, the combobox should replace the polling KeyLinks column, or
the KeyDescLinks column if you're using that.

If all this is the case, then look inside the DFM to check that the
lookupcombo really is embedded by the grid...after you "cut" it from
the original parent, you must make sure that the grid is selected
when you "paste" it back into the grid.
