I'll try something like that.  I should have done that this weekend, but I had
to leave for a while or I'd get crazy with so many things to do...  :-)  It
was a nice weekend.  Hot for mid-autumn. 

Anyway, if what you suggested below doesn't work, I'll do that.  But I haven't
done anything too complicated.  What I've done is:

        - connect to the database
        - retrieve the information I want to show
        - populate the combobox, using a loop ('while query.next(): ...')
        - trap the currentChanged signal from the dataBrowser and selecting
          trying to set the item on the combobox to the correct value

If I print debug messages they show the correct value, but the item doesn't
change on screen.

I haven't tried that because the items already exist there.  They were
retrieved from a database and populated the comboboxes when it was
instantiated.  I have disallowed inserting duplicate items, so it might
work...  I'll give it a try right now.  (time passes)  It didn't work.  I'll
try coming up with a simple example in one file only.  I'll be posting it in a
few minutes.


Thanks for your help!
