&lt;p&gt;In the combobox / dropdownbox properties menu, On the &lt;strong&gt;Data&lt;/strong&gt; tab, have a look underneath &lt;strong&gt;List box entries&lt;/strong&gt;, did you choose &amp;quot;&lt;strong&gt;Look up values from an external data source&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;quot;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If yes, what did you choose as your: DataSource /&amp;nbsp;Entries / Value /&amp;nbsp;Display Name ?&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Combobox should be populated from a DB but remains empty</title><link>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/41865.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 19 May 2009 14:07:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:41865</guid><dc:creator>greymonkey</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/41865.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&amp;PostID=41865</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Hello&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I try to create a template binded to a database (SQL Server 2005). I have a combox that I configured to be populated from the values contained in a database field. However, when I run the preview mode, the combobox is empty. What should I know apart from specifying the entries Values/Display name in the drop down list properties window ?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks for your help &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
