SYMPTOMS

When the DBCombo that ships with Visual Basic 5.0 is used in conjunction with
the RemoteData control that ships with Visual Basic 4.0 Enterprise Edition, the
DBCombo may not display the correct column.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products that are
listed at the beginning of this article.

This bug has been fixed in Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 2.

Service Pack 2, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base:

  Q171554 INFO: Visual Basic 5.0 Fixes in Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 2

MORE INFORMATION
================

The problem occurs when the ListField and BoundColumn properties of the DBCombo
differ. This bug may cause problems in Visual Basic 4.0 applications because the
DBCombo that ships with Visual Basic 5.0 has the same filename. The problem does
not occur when the DBCombo that ships with Visual Basic 5.0 is used in
conjunction with the RemoteData control that ships with Visual Basic 5.0
Enterprise Edition.
