http://www.ibobjects.com/TechInfo.html and download the two papers
there on using IB Objects controls. One of them has a "walk-
through" of the logic of both setting up and using TIB_LookupCombo.
The key concepts for this control are "double-data-aware"
and "lookup".

OK I accept your answer for the second question. What about the
first question? It does not make sense that the popup allows the
two fields, but the display does not. I am sure it's a little
matter of populating one of the component entries correctly. I must
say it's quite a mission with IB objects to set up what should be as
easy as the DBLookupCombo with listsource. This one requires a whole
lot of not-so-intuitive settings to have syntax specific entries.
