Hi Whaletyr,

This is happening because they both point to the same data source, so they
both use the same CurrencyManager. Here are a couple ideas:

You could manually add items by looping through the data source's rows
without actually binding the combo box.

Also, you could copy the data source (I assume it's a data table?) to create
a new data table. Then set your second combo box's data source property to
this table. Doing this will use a different CurrencyManager, so the combo
box's values will not always be synchronized.

There is probably some more efficient, automagic way to bind to a data
source and then disconnect, but I haven't stumbled upon that yet.

Hope this helps you...

Eric
