The main form data has no database relation to the controller form/value list.
The value list comes from table A, the listview in the controller is based on table B and the Main Form can be based on any table.
All three groups are non related.
The Combo box is user to select the type of search needed (on invoiceid, customerid, emailadress etc). The value searched for typed in the other global field in the Controller.
The listview in the copntroller is used to navigate between the different main forms.
And the main form is just the main form...
Now, when the listview on the controller has an empty foundset, then the valuelist in the combobox becomes empty. After I make sure there is a non empty list view again, the previously set value in the combo global is gone.... but a new one can be selected from the dropdown value list again.
