Combo box and pagelist (OpenInsight Specific)

I have a multi-page form, controlled by a tabbed inteface, and on Page 1 there are a number of combo box controls. Page 2 includes a button which calls a dialog box to populate a different table.
My problem begins when I call the second form after entering details into any of the combo boxes.
On returning from the dialog box I find that all the combo box fields are blank (all other fields are ok) .
It appears to be affecting just the text property, as exiting from the multi-page form doesn't give the savewarn message if I have displayed a previously saved record.
I appreciate that I can work around this by intercepting the Page event and manipulating the text properties of all the combo boxes, but I would rather know if I this is a known bug , or if I am doing something stupid.
Any help gratefully received !!

Keith,
Check this thread and see if the issue discussed isn't the same problem as you have:

I'd already had a trawl through this thread, thanks anyway.
The problem there seems to be contained with a multi page form. My problem only shows after returning to a multi page form with combo boxes from a second form.
I can use the workaround sugested from the earlier thread, but it seems to me that this might be a new bug !
Thanks for taking the time to reply anyway.

Keith,
It sounds like you are using a QuickEvent to call the second form and the return value ("") is being directed to the current control's (combo) DEFPROP. Just go into the QuickEvent designer and clear the two fields where it says 'return value to' or something like that.

Hi Cameron,
I'm not using a QuickEvent, and it is a number of combo boxes that are losing their text property, not just one. Interestingly enough, it only seems to be re-setting the text property, as quitting from the screen after the combo boxes have cleared to '' does not give me the Savewarn message. Re-reading the record populates the boxes back to their original value.
Strange eh?
If you have any other suggestions I would love to hear them !
Thanks

Ah ha ! Sorted the problem !
A rogue bit of code was setting the list and text property of the combo boxes ( sitting on page 1 ) whilst page 2 was visible !
All working now !
