I actually have multiple columns in my dg which is why I am using dgResources.addItem( {dept: cmbDept.selectedItem} ); I cut down the example for simplicity.

Would I have to somehow loop through the new object in the combo box and pull each specific item out? --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Tracy Spratt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > When you do this: > dgResources.addItem( {dept: cmbDept.selectedItem} ); } > > you are putting the whole combobox item object into the dept property of > a new object. > > Perhaps you just want: > dgResources.addItem(cmbDept.selectedItem); > > Tracy > > > -----Original Message----- > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of rgwilson26 > Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 10:16 AM > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [flexcoders] Re: databinding issue for combobox > > Basically I am calling a query that will populate a combobox.
